The song was given a slightly different mix for single release, titled the "Rude Boy Mix". This mix adds background instrumentation and more backing vocals during the song while omitting the instrumental intro and spoken French towards the end of the album version.

The group performed the song in 2005 for the ITV series Hit Me, Baby, One More Time, performed with the original lineup (Célena Cherry, Heavenli Denton and Naima Belkhiati).

Critical reception

Daily Record described the song as a "London-style swing beat tune".[1]
