In 2006, the band re-recorded the song as a duet with Aaron Neville, available on its best-of The Ultimate Collection. About this version by Neville, Dani Klein said in an interview : "We were discussing the whole project at Sony BMG and they asked me "Who would you like to do a duet with?" The first person that came into my mind was Aaron Neville, because I'd seen him a few months ago here in Brussels and I was just amazed at his voice! This man has a unique voice... his voice is incomparable. The song goes "What's a woman if a man doesn't treat her right?" And the fact that a man sings that gives it another dimension. I thought that was interesting."

The song is featured in the Swedish movie Vingar av Glas (Wings of Glass), starring Alexander Skarsgård.
