The hit song topped the charts globally, but he recently told Access Hollywood: "They didn’t want it on the album, in fact, it nearly didn’t go on the album. The record company said, ‘We only have eight tracks, we need one more track!’
“And I said, ‘I’ve got this thing hanging about, these are the lyrics,’ and a DJ turned it over because it was on the B side. It was put on the A-side, and that was it, and I’ll drink to that."
