This song is worth a discussion. Never charting on the Hot 100 but receiving a lot of airplay back in 2000 it was released in a much slower version across the US and UK in 1999. Those slow versions never got much airplay. Eventually in 2000 the reason for its success on radio and overseas was due to remixes which made it a bigger hit on the Billboard Dance Club songs chart (#6 in September 2000 for 13 weeks) and US Adult Top 40 in 2001 at #25.
The hit version I believe is the Airscape Remix Edit (which is what the video has) but I am partial to the Niels van Gogh vs. Thomas Gold Radio Edit (which I believe got airplay as well but can't prove) which I have always heard over the years, not the Airscape Remix Edit. Either way DJ Tiesto also remixed the track and there are a lot of existing remixes of the song due to its immense popularity.
Paul Haney, is there some reason the hit never charted on the Hot 100 considering that in 2000 airplay hits could chart? This was at the peak of Sarah M's popularity. It was also radically different from her late 90's hits on Mirrorball....
