The Katene Sisters were created for Shortland Street — a vocal group from the fictional past of nurse Jackie Manu (Nancy Brunning), who have reformed for a talent quest. The other members were Jackie's cousins, but only one (Annie Crummer) turned up, allowing nurse Carrie Burton (Lisa Crittenden) to step in. Although they didn’t win, the trio had a brief life beyond Shortland Street, when this song (written by Crummer and ex Holidaymaker Barbara Griffin) peaked at number three in the New Zealand charts. The video shows them having definite fun while performing in a recording studio.
We went on a Saturday to shoot the music video. Oh my goodness gracious me — I have never seen so much product put into my hair . . . We just spent all day doing pretty much bugger-all; just sort of standing around a microphone getting different shots. It was fabulous.– Lisa Crittenden recalls filming this music video, in a 26 July 2022 YouTube interview
