The video opens with a hand print, with the title underneath saying 'Touch the screen'; it hovers to the right, and six screens are divided into different "stereotypes" of Minogue; one with army-esque material, a rainbow background, drugs, blood splatter, an ecstasy pill with the words "Call me" on it, and the final with an egg. The video was directed by Paul Boyd in Los Angeles, California during July 1994.

It was recorded in London, United Kingdom at DMC and Sarm West Studios during 1994.
Musically, it is a pop song that incorporates elements of indie music, trip hop, and Middle Eastern instrumentation such as strings and percussion.
The lyrical content talks about Minogue's earnest of seduction and manipulating people to confide into her.
It became Minogue's only charting single in the US during the 1990s period, having peaked at 39 on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.
An accompanying music video was directed by Paul Boyd in Los Angeles, California.
Nick Levine from Digital Spy labeled it "Middle Eastern pop", with elements of "string-swathed dance-pop".
According to William Baker, whom had written a biography with Minogue detailing her career and life, he says that the song "symbolizes internal power struggle that rages beneath Kylie's surface" as he continues "she is both puppet and puppet master".
It became Minogue's first Australian number one single since her 1988 track "Got to Be Certain", and remained at number one for four weeks.
British rock band The Sisters of Mercy recorded a cover version of the song for their cover album The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (2002).
In 2018, a cover of the song was used throughout the marketing for the Foxtel miniseries, Picnic at Hanging Rock.
