It was released on Arista Records and became an international hit, reaching number 7 in the UK chart, and number 9 in the Netherlands.[2] The song did not chart in the U.S., as it was issued as the B-side to "Change of Heart", when it was released as a single in the US during 1989. The song is about partying and having fun in the Mexican city of Acapulco. The song would subsequently appear on their 1988 studio album, Indestructible.
