Reception
In a 2006 interview, Nocera offered her opinion on Corina's version, which she had mixed feelings: "I have no relationship with Corina. We’ve never even gone out for coffee. It kind of hurt my feelings that she didn’t even return my calls to go out for a drink. But, besides all of the personal stuff, there is a magic in the original song that can’t be recaptured. Corina’s version was fun and playful though. I’m honored that she chose my song for a remake and, also, put some extra money in my pocket!".{{cite web | url = http://www.freestylemusic.com/Interviews/nocera.htm | accessdate = 2006-12-09 | author = Tanneur, Francis | title = The Nocera Interview | publisher = freestylemusic.com | date = 2006-12-09 }}
