In the USA it became Whitney's 11th #1 single and first to debut at the top for one week and spent 11 weeks at the #2 position, this was also Whitney's final US #1 hit of her career. Worldwide the track topped the charts in Canada and Spain and top 5 in New Zealand, along with top 10 peaks in Finland, Netherlands and Sweden.
