It's yet another one-hit-wonder, and this time one with a bit of backstory. Aurra had originally been a spin-off act from Slave (a group which once included Steve Arrington of Now 5 fame) but over time they reduced to a duo. Legal disputes over the name meant that this single was credited to Deja in the US [and in the linked video], but somehow they seem to have got away with it for a while over here and released this single under the original name. It shows up on compilation albums under both credits, should you wish to purchase it.
It starts off sounding like it might be going somewhere, with the male protagonist realising that his girlfriend has changed the locks, and on close listening they are arguing throughout the verses, with the man pleading and the woman refusing to trust him. But the effect is so slick that I had to re-listen several times to notice that, and the chorus doesn't seem to fit in at all with the sentiment. The overall effect is distinctly average.
