EMI and Ross Records released the song as the second single from the album on October 25, 1999. It was her final hit single of the 1990s in the United Kingdom, peaking at number nine on the UK Singles Chart.

Ross performed the song on the ITV special An Audience with Diana Ross, recreating elements of the music video with choreography.
Critical reception
The Daily Vault's Mark Millan wrote that it is "definitely the album's strongest and most focused track". He added that Ross "once again delivers a heartfelt reading of the personalized lyric, 'You were the first who ever brought me out / Showed me what life and love was all about / Gave me things that I never need / You're in my thoughts, my every dream'."[2] Paul Willistein from The Morning Call noted that the singer "gets jiggy wit' the loopy 'Not Over You Yet'".[3] Kitty Empire from NME called it "some grown-up houseygarageydisco-y nonsense that's really of no great consequence."[4] Chuck Campbell from Scripps Howard News Service described it as a "moderately hypnotic" song, "prodded by a politely percolating mechanical loop."[5]
