Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Return To Innocence - Radio Edit. By Songfacts®.

This was the lead single from The Cross of Changes, the second album from the electronica/new age music act Enigma. The song was an international hit, topping the charts in over 12 countries including Greece, Norway, Sweden and Ireland and reaching the Top 10 in many other territories.

The song was based on a native Taiwanese chant by a Taiwanese tribesman Kuo Ying-nan and his wife Kuo Hsiu-chu, who had recorded the track in Paris in 1988 during a cultural exchange. The sampled chanting was the subject of a series of lawsuits and the case was finally settled out of court in 1999 for an undisclosed amount of money. As a result the two Taiwanese Amis singers to this day receive 100% of the royalties for the song.

The song's drum beat was sampled from the Led Zeppelin song "When the Levee Breaks."
