You may have listened to many covers of popular songs or the songs your favorite artist covered. There are millions of cover songs on YouTube! Some artists even share their own rendition of a song.

A Danish singer called Lis S\u00f8rensen first released the song after it was written by the LA band. But it was not recorded in English, it was translated, and \u2018Torn\u2019 was given another title. In 1995, Ednaswap rolled out their song \u2018Torn\u2019. Then, the\u00a0<em>\u2018Johnny English\u2019\u00a0<\/em>actress Natalie Imbruglia covered it and went on to sell over a million copies in the UK.
