The song begins as a gentle, intimate ballad, with Agnetha singing softly over sparse piano keys. At around the 0:40 mark, the arrangement suddenly shifts gears, exploding into a fast-paced disco beat with driving bass and high-octane vocal harmonies as the chorus kicks in with "Kisses of fire, burning, burning".
