Never released as a single, it did get club play and was the B side for the "Rock With You" in the US and the B side of "Off The Wall" in the UK. He did include it for both of The Jacksons Tours and his first two world concert tours.

The reaction to the song was so good that there are many live concert recordings from 1981, 1984, 1987 to 1989, 2005 and 2011. The demo was included as an extra on the expanded 2001 anniversary edition of "Off The Wall".

The Cirque de Soleil remixed the song for the soundtrack of "Micheal Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" in 2011.

It also has been sampled by George Duke, Will Smith, Richie Rich, Janet Jackson and Timbaland. The Timbaland sample was used in the posthumous hit duet with Justin Timberlake, "Love Never Felt So Good" hit #9, giving him six decades of Top 10 hits. That count includes his career with the Jackson Five.

One more track remixed from "Off The Wall", so far I've done "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough", "Rock With You" and "Get On The Floor", that means Side One is complete. The first song on side 2 "Off The Wall" is already done leaving the rest of Side 2 to complete. Stay tuned!
