Songfacts®:

  • Italian DJ Alex Gaudino began his music career working for Flying Records and UMM in 1993. He soon earned a reputation for spotting hit records, working with artists such as The Tamperer, Black Legend and Robbie Rivera, and he became the first Italian A&R man with two UK #1 hit singles in his locker.

    Gaudino's life changed tack when in 2007 "Destination Calabria," a mash-up of Crystal Waters' vocal from "Destination Unknown" and Rune's "Calabria," became a smash hit throughout Europe, launching his career as an international DJ. In October 2010 Gaudino scored his first #1 single in the United States, when "I'm In Love (I Wanna Do It)" topped Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart.

    This up-tempo house song is the second single from Gaudino's sophomore album, Magnificent. The Gaudino, Jenson Vaughan, Giuseppe D'Albenzio and Emmanuel Mijares penned tune was released on March 22, 2011.
  • The song features vocals from Kelly Rowland. It was the erstwhile Destiny's Child member's second collaboration with a famous DJ to be an international hit having previously sung on David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over."
