Eve is referred to as the "rose desert". Riding a wave of pre-9/11 interest in Latin and Arab culture, the song peaked at No. 1. 2 in Canada, No. 3 in Switzerland, No. 4 in Italy, No. 15 in the UK, and No. 17 in the United States. The song is famous for the appearance of Sting duet with Algerian singer Cheb Mami, creating a different world music nuance for the song.

The Sting music video feature takes a trip through the Mojave Desert on Jaguar S-Type driven by a masked female driver (a possible reference to the sidekick Green Hornet Kato) and then goes to a nightclub in Las Vegas to perform a song with Cheb Mami. After the video shoot, Sting Miles manager Copeland III approached licensed music expert Lloyd Simon to work with Jaguar in a collaboration, and the automotive company displayed the video in their top television commercials during the year 2000.
