Originally reached #2 in the UK Singles Charts in 1999, and now remastered in 2023;
What do you make of this dance classic? Is it a standout to you from its time? |

This takes me back. I remember it being all over radio and television back in 1999/2000.

It's definitely one I liked a lot more at the time than I do now.

It takes me back a lot. On the Now album it was featured on that I played a lot. I wouldn't say it's a massive favourite of mine but still a tune.

I remember from your NOW album discussion that you aren't a fan of '2 Times', awardinary.
I do really like it, it joins the Vengaboys-style production trend of 1999 and there was also Rollergirl - Dear Jessie with similar production but that didn't chart in the UK until 2000. |

It's a song I initially disliked when it started rotation on the music channels in summer 1999 but I quickly grew to its twee ways and ended up buying it when it was released. Shame she put it out the same week as Genie In A Bottle, as it deserved No.1. Also the same week as B*Witched's comeback Jesse Hold On, which I believe Asda and Woolies etc expected to chart higher than 2 Times.
It's still a classic to me. I also bought her album a few months later which was...basically 12 versions of the same song. |

Someone else noticed It copied the beat of Wamdue Project's song 'King Of My Castle (Roy Malone Remix)' that was a success in late 1998/1999 previous to '2 Times'

Two remakes were released last year and there's actually a "southstar 2.0" drama in it.
TIL that its remake by Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Steve Aoki ripped off Irish producer Will Atkinson's 'fun bootleg' of it. Will had shared his frustration about it on Facebook last month: With DVLM x Steve Aoki version has already bagged 18 million Spotify streams (and Will's is just <200k) now, I completely understand Will's feelings and I'm extremely sorry for him. ![]() |
