It was their fourth Top 10 ( and second Top 5 ) single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number five. In the UK it took a year and a half for the single to become a chart hit. First released in June 1987 as the first single from Let It Loose, the song failed to chart ; a reissue came in February 1988 after the song featured in Stakeout, once again the song failed to chart. However, after the success of the follow up singles Anything For You and 1 - 2 - 3, the song was re-released in December 1988 just before Christmas and became a UK top 20 hit, peaking at # 16 in January 1989. The song was also featured in promos for Wheel of Fortune, with lyrics changed to `` Wheel 's Gonna Get You ''. An extended remix was released on a 12 '' single in the US. It was sampled in a 1989 Bollywood film, Tridev, in the song `` Oye Oye ''. It was later sampled by Estefan 's own 1998 single `` Oye ''. In 2018, it was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally, historically, or artistically significant.
