Songfacts®:

This bassline house club anthem was recorded by producers H Two O together with vocalists Platnum. H Two O are DJ's Solution and Oz aka Selim and Simon. Platnum are Hip-Hop/R&B/Garage vocalists Aron, Mina and Michelle.
After "What's It Gonna Be" became popular in the clubs, dance label Hard2Beat gave it a national release. It became the second bassline tune, after T2 featuring Jodie's "Heartbroken," to achieve mainstream success in the UK.
The Nottingham duo originally recorded this when Selim was lodging at noted local music venue the Golden Fleece. The track's vocals were recorded in a toilet cubicle there. Simon explained to the Nottingham Evening Post: "The mics were set up in the toilet because it made a good recording booth."
