Loreen released a cover of the song as a single on 18 December 2015, simultaneously performing it live on TV on at Svenska Hjältar-Galan. It was her first single released in Swedish.[6] Loreen turned the guitar pop track into a moody, electronic ballad which starts out with just her voice and some synths, but halfway through explodes with a lush production and more vocal power.[citation needed]
Michael from 'A Bit of Pop Music said; "This type of moody electro ballads suits her powerful and mystical sounding vocals the best." requesting more of this on her second album.[7]
Scandipop said; ""Under Ytan" [is] a stark and dramatic new production that builds into something special."[8]
In 2017, Kikki Danielsson recorded the song during Så mycket bättre. The song was then called "At the Border", depicting the situation of refugees throughout the world.[9]
