Together with " Sugar Me" it was her biggest hit in Japan. In the UK, some copies were mis-pressed with the B-side label appearing as "Ten Years After on Strawberry Jam" by The Scaffold, that also appeared on the Warner Bros label, although the track that plays is "Nothing Really Lasts Forever" (K 16400), also sung, composed and produced by de Paul. According to Barry Blue, "Ooh I Do" is the only song he and de Paul co-wrote that they fell out over - Blue wanted to release his version of the song as a single but de Paul recorded it first.Chart performance
