Cover versions



"Everytime We Touch" has been covered by a few artists, including Trixiana, Lacara and Trinity.

*A Swedish version, with lyrics by Keith Almgren, called "Varje gng du ler" (eng. "Everytime You Smile") has been recorded by Septembers 1994 and later by Cosmos (1997 on the album 'Jag har en drm').

*In 2005, the song's chorus was borrowed, with permission from Reilly, for a Eurodance version also called "Everytime We Touch", performed by dance group Cascada. This cover version was a major hit in the U.S., peaking in the top 10 on the pop chart. Although the new version has completely different verses, the writing credit still appears the same as it appeared on the original recording by Maggie Reilly.

*The Croatian song "Sedam Dana" by a band named Karma also uses the same basic melody.

*The Techno/Dance group Cash Cash also created a version of this song using the lyrics from Cascada.
