Later in 2003, it was recorded by Alistair Griffin feat Robin Gibb and was released as a double A.

Alistair Griffin and Robin Gibb version

My Lover's Prayer is a single released by Alistair Griffin featuring Robin Gibb released in 2003, released as a double A with "Bring It On", a song only by Alistair Griffin.

Robin had intended to re-release the song as a solo single in 2003 with backing vocals by Lance Bass and Wanya Morris, and a promo version of this had already been given radio play. However, the morning after the Fame Academy 2 final, Gibb contracted Griffin with a request to re-record a duet of the song, with the apparent intention of releasing it as a Christmas single. This version also used Robin's original vocals with a new remix of the instrumental track. Three other performers from Fame Academy 2, Peter Brame, Carolynne Good and winner Alex Parks sang the backing vocals.
