In 2005, Jermaine Dupri hand-picked Korean pop sensation singer Lee Hyori to cover the single for her second LP Dark Angel. The song was released as the album's third and final single. Hyori's version did not really differ from the original other than converting most of the lyrics from English to Korean.
