From the Single (1993)

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.
