On their fifth record, Stereophonics finally cracked the mainstream with “Dakota,” a song that shot to the top of the UK Singles Chart, and went Gold in the United Kingdom. They’d never again reach such heights, or impact upon the US charts.

The track is a straight up and down love song, characterised by electronic atmospherics and an energetic chorus. The music video gives the impression of an American road trip, with a Mustang featured in front of a green screen, possibly adding to the appeal of the song in the US.
