in 2003, the song won the popjustice £20 music prize, an annual prize awarded by a panel of judges organised by music website popjustice to the singer(s) of the best british pop single of the past year. popjustice founder peter robinson wrote that the song "established a motif that would saturate girls aloud's string of subsequent singles: an unpredictable and triumphantly contrary desire to push and pull the band in exciting new directions at every turn."
