1996’s “Where Do You Go” by No Mercy was one of those songs, becoming an instantly recognizable hit through its catchy chorus that you simply couldn’t shake, released under the group's self-titled album, No Mercy.
The now-iconic line, “Where do you go, my lovely?” actually came from a 1969 song by Peter Sarstedt, which connected the '90s dance tune to an older Baroque pop classic, which was a No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart and received the 1970 Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
No Mercy's version that became well-known globally wasn’t even the original.
I still vividly remember being 10, jamming out to the song every time it played on the radio, and watching the music video on VIVA in my grandparents’ apartment.
“If you grew up in the 90s, this song never stopped playing in your head,” EDM. US Instagram recently wrote of the defining tune, as one fan agreed, “I still sing this randomly outloud sometimes ?“ while another added, “Still hasn’t stopped."

“I bought this CD in 1996. Song sounds just as good as it ever did,” a fan declared.
The tune was released at the height of the Eurodance boom, and “Where Do You Go” quickly climbed the charts around the world.
The single also found its way into the pop culture universe, featured in the cult comedy A Night at the Roxbury.
The trio of No Mercy consisted of Bronx-born Marty Cintron and twin brothers from Miami Ariel and Gabriel Hernández.
