It has been covered in English as "Take a Breath" (Kristina Bach), Dutch as "Ademloos door de nacht" (by Loona[4] and Ferry de Lits[5] in the Netherlands) and "Jij en ik" (by Laura Lynn in Belgium)[6] as well as in Afrikaans as "Asemloos" by Liezel Pieters in South Africa.[7] It was also parodied by Austrian punk band Turbobier as "Arbeitslos durch den Tag" (Unemployed Through the Day) in 2015.[8]
The melody was also used as an interval act during the second-semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2016 performed by Swedish singer Charlotte Perrelli as "Här står jag" (Here I Stand), a Swedish-language metasong referring to the decline in success of Schlager music during Melodifestivalen.
Other versions edit
In 2018, the DJ Black Noize made a remix of this song in the hardstyle style. In 2023, the song was remixed by female rapper Shirin David, which eventually became the only version of the song to top the German charts.
