If you knew that this anthem was actually a cover, then fair play.
Tons of 90s kids have had their minds blown after being told Natalie Imbruglia’s biggest tune, ‘Torn’, is actually a cover.
In 1993, the song was written for Danish singer Lis Sørensen and was later recorded by rock band, Ednaswap.
However, the track didn’t garner much attention until a few years later when Natalie released her version.
A tweet reminding people of the fact came as a surprise to a number of fans, who up until that point had been completely unaware.

First I find out that Natalie Imbruglia's version of Torn was a cover. Now this.
IS EVERYTHING I KNEW TO BE TRUE IN LIFE GOING TO BE TAKEN AWAY FROM ME?

Just the same kind of shocked when I found out that Whitney Houston's I will always love you is a cover version of a 1973 song

Obviously, you’d assume original version wouldn’t be totally unfamiliar but it still sounds pretty weird compared to Natalie’s version.
