notes
The vocal-hook synth doubles the top melody line in a wide, chorused unison-saw stack, a signature of the Cologne/Frankfurt Eurodance sound La Bouche's productions came out of. Light pitch vibrato and a slap-back delay keep the line moving over the four-on-the-floor groove without ever sitting static.
