  1. Hi! Just thought I'd mention that while the standalone digital release includes the original version of the song, the Eurovision album (and the official video) feature a re-recorded version. The differences are especially noticeable in the 2:16-2:30 bit of the song. Similarly, the karaoke versions are different on the single and compilation album.

  2. You've mentioned it but it's not on the versions list. The TRM version could be named 1st version or nf version.
