“Now You’re Gone” is a song performed by dance musician Basshunter in cooperation with DJ Mental Theo’s Bazzheadz. The single uses the same music as “Boten Anna”, Basshunter’s major European hit in 2006, but its lyrics, performed in English, are completely different.
Differences from Boten Anna
In 2007, DJ Mental Theo used the Boten Anna instrumental to create a bootleg English version for his DJ sets in Magaluf, Mallorca. It was this song that eventually became released as a single.
The song’s theme is different from “Boten Anna”; “Boten Anna” is about an IRC bot, and “Now You’re Gone” is about a young couple breaking up. The music video expands on this theme, although it suggests a reunion of the couple, which is not referenced in the song itself. The tempo of the song has also been increased compared to “Boten Anna”.
Reception
The song peaked at No.1 on the Irish Singles Chart, in the UK it entered at No.14 on downloads alone. It peaked at No.1 on the UK Singles Chart and the British iTunes Chart. Now You’re Gone stayed at the UK No.1 spot for five weeks before being knocked off by Welsh female artist Duffy with her song “Mercy”.
On June 16, 2008, The Kiss Radio Network in the UK added the song to their playlist, 6 months after the initial release.
Promotional Video
The Norwegian model Aylar Lie plays the female lead in the music video of the song. The other two girls that are with Aylar Lie are, Silje Lian who is in the pink top before she gets changed and Marielle Mathiassen who is the other lady.
The music video expands on the song’s theme of a young man and a woman ending their relationship, depicting the couple breaking up over SMS text messages. At the end of the video, the couple kiss, but the lyrics do not follow this event.
To date the video has experienced massive success on Internet video hosting site YouTube. As of January 2009, the video has reached almost 50,000,000 views.
