The original track features a heavy sample of King Floyd's 1971 funk song "Baby Let Me Kiss You" .
The track is credited with bringing New York’s dancehall scene into the mainstream, proving that Caribbean sounds could dominate global pop radio without losing their cultural edge.
Its global explosion was largely fueled by its inclusion in a high-profile Levi’s 501 claymation commercial , which turned the song into a chart-topping sensation across Europe and the UK.
A popular 1996 remix by Sting International—which samples Marvin Gaye’s "Let’s Get It On" —is often mistaken for the original, though both versions remain cultural staples. 🏆 Chart Success & Legacy
