It came in as the 93rd biggest song of 1986 according to the Billboard Year-End. No song that peaked as low as number 25 would crack the year-end until seven years later.
The tune was a major hit for the group, becoming their first single to crack the top ten on the R&B singles chart, reaching number 8,[1] and the top 40 on the pop charts, peaking at number 25. It also entered the dance charts, peaking at number 12, and number 7 on the Dance "Maxi singles" charts. In the United Kingdom, the song reached number 96 on the pop chart.
