It has been covered in English as "Take a Breath" (Kristina Bach), Dutch as "Ademloos door de nacht" (by Loona[2] and Ferry de Lits[3] in the Netherlands) and "Jij en ik" (by Laura Lynn in Belgium)[4] as well as in Afrikaans as "Asemloos" by Liezel Pieters in South Africa.[5] It was also parodied by Austrian punk band Turbobier as "Arbeitslos durch den Tag" (Unemployed Through the Day) in 2015.[6]

The melody was also used as an interval act during the second-semi-final of Melodifestivalen 2016 performed by Swedish singer Charlotte Perrelli as "Här Står Jag" (Here I Stand), a Swedish-language metasong referring to the decline in success of Schlager music during Melodifestivalen.
