In 2015, Loreen recorded a version. It was released as a single on 18 December 2015 where she performed it live on TV on at Svenska Hjältar-Galan. It is her first single released in the Swedish language.[5]
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.
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.[6]
Scandipop said; ""Under Ytan" [is] a stark and dramatic new production that builds into something special." [7]
