In Australia, it peaked at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart, and in Ireland, it reached number 13.

Music video

[edit | edit source]

Two versions of the music video, directed by John Cameron Mitchell, were made: a full-length, raunchier version featuring semi-explicit scenes in a sex club, and an edited version where those scenes are shown more briefly, out of context, and occasionally obscured. Some scenes are removed completely.[4]
