Now You're Gone (feat. DJ Mental Theos Bazzheadz) - Radio Edit

The Swedish DJ Jonas Altberg, also known as Basshunter, wrote the original song "Boten Anna" in his bedroom. The track, about an IRC bot, become an instant internet phenomenon and was a hit across Scandinavia, including a #1 in his native Sweden. It went on to top the charts in other European countries including Holland, (where it was the first ever Swedish language song to top the charts) and Denmark. It was also one of the biggest selling ringtones by any artist in Europe with over one million ringtones sold. For the English speaking market, Basshunter produced a new track called "Now You're Gone," which re-used the sound of "Boten Anna" with unrelated English lyrics about somebody missing their former lover.

This song's success in Britain was one of a number for Swedes in the music industry around the time of it's release. The previous club record to top the UK charts, Robyn's "With Every Heartbeat," also had its origins in Sweden. In addition when this moved to the summit, the #2 single behind it "Piece Of Me" by Britney Spears was co-written and produced by the Swedish production duo Bloodshy and Advant with backing vocals by their fellow Swede Robyn.

According to a Performing Rights Society report, this song was the most downloaded and streamed track of 2008 in the UK.
