The song was actually written in 1993 by Anne Previn and Scott Cutler of Ednaswap, In 1994, Lis Sorensen topped the charts in Denmark with "Braendt", a Danish translation of the piece. Ednaswap recorded their own version of "Torn" in 1995 and in 1996, Trine Rein had a runaway hit with it in Norway.
