Reception
Because of the popularity the song had in the underground scene (it had been circling around Sheffield nightclubs for a while), record label Hard2Beat decided to release it into mainstream success. The track has been generally well received on radio. It has been placed on the coveted A-list at BBC Radio 1. The track entered the UK Singles Chart at No. 7 on downloads alone on the chart dated 17 February 2008, following the single's CD release, "What's It Gonna Be?" rose to No. 2 on the chart dated 24 February 2008. The song also reached number No. 33 on the Dutch Top 40. Although the song was a chart success, some critics claimed its UK garage-style beat and characterless vocals made it banal.[2]
Music video
The music video was filmed in January 2008 at Dulwich College, an independent school in South London.
