[edit] Candlelight Mix
Because of the song's popularity, a stripped-down, ballad-like "Candlelight Mix" version was made, and received airplay on Adult Contemporary radio stations as well as CHR stations.
An unauthorized remix of this mix was also made by KISS FM in Bakersfield, California to commemorate the September 11 terrorist attacks. The song features a little girl talking about her father who presumably died in the attacks, with the original chorus intermittently playing. A popular Flash animation plays out this version of the song. [1] The little girl's vocal was actually the daughter of the program director at the time. He simply read her the lines and had her repeat them for him, with a little emotional prompting. Then he edited himself out of the voice track. This was one of the most requested songs in the stations history, and had all of the local market talking. It even crossed over to Clear Channel's other stations for a wider audience.
[edit] Music video
The music video for the single features Yanou, DJ Sammy and Do viewed briefly from a TV. The video features two Asian girls, androgynous people and a black man. There is a second version, with extended scenes of a stationary Do singing.
