Katrin Quinol had been hired to lip-sync the track on TV performances and stage and featured on the cover art. The band re-recorded the track with Heather Small. On [m113697] the all other vocals were sung by Martha Wash, but Katrin Quinol continued to be shown as the lead singer, lip-synching to the recorded vocals of Wash on stage and in music videos.
