This record came close to claiming both a number 1 and a number 40 for it's 2 different versions. Instead it just fell short of topping the charts when first released by iiO in 2001 making number 2.
Nadia Ali was the singer of iiO but left the duo in 2005. Fellow iiO member Markus Moser continued on his own up until 2011 when he retired the name. Nadia Ali meantime had become a solo artist but had no Top 40 hits until this.
It had been a decade since the original had been released. In that time the popularity of dance music had declined but then rose from the ashes to appeal to a younger crowd and alienate the older dance music fans. This was therefore given an EDM makeover by Avicii who was one of the big DJs of the modern era. He was however still in the infancy of his Top 40 career, so this was no doubt big in the clubs but not so big in the charts.
