The track

Dieter Bohlen has been cited with this song as the inspiration for using falsetto choruses in his songs, such as Modern Talking, C.C. Catch and Blue System.[4] In 2013, song was sampled in The Weeknd's song "Wanderlust", that can be found on his record Kiss Land. The Weeknd samples the melody, the original chorus and a part of the original lyrics.
