I feel absolutely misled and cheated and I’m just not okay.

When I think back to my elementary/middle school days, there are certain songs that resonate with me.

Vitamin C’s ‘Graduation (Friends Forever)’

 

 

Len’s ‘Steal My Sunshine’

 

 

Basically any Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC song

 

 

Another one of those songs is Natalie Imbruglia’s 1997 hit, ‘Torn’.

 

 

But today I’ve learned some shocking news that has shaken me to my core: ‘Torn’ is NOT Natalie’s record, it’s a cover.

The song was originally written by Scott Cutler and Anne Preven of the band Ednaswap; their cover of the song was released in 1995.

 

 

The first release of the song was done by Danish singer Lis Sørensen in 1993.

 

 

I’m stunned.
