Sugababes' first #1 in the UK and the start of their run as hitmakers there. It was produced by Richard X as a mashup of Tubeway Army's "Are Friends Electric?" and Adina Howard's "Freak Like Me." Richard X initially released a straight mashup of the two tracks, but he couldn't get Adina Howard's clearance to use her vocals, which lead to him recruiting the Sugababes to cover it. Gary Numan has gone on records saying that he loves the track and prefers it to his own "Are Friends Electric?"
