Release and promotion

As the band's previous single, "24 Hours", was released only in UK, "Feel the Love (Oomachasaooma)" became the lead single in other territories. The song was promoted by a music video directed by Godley & Creme thus making the first partial reunion of the original band members since the split in 1976.^[1]

The single peaked at #87 band's native UK charts, but fared much better in Europe, becoming one of 10cc's best selling singles in the Netherlands.
