Background and release[]

A remix of "Thunder in My Heart" by British disk jockey Meck titled "Thunder in My Heart Again" was released in 2006, which featured Sayer's vocals.[12] In 2005, Meck asked Sayer for permission to remix the song,[13] after the former found it as a 12-inch single inside a Los Angeles discount store and envisioned a "dance mix treatment". Sayer opined that Meck completely altered the sound but "kept all of its integrity", concluding that he could not discover anything wrong with Meck's version.[14]

"Thunder in My Heart Again" is a dance song,[15] which peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart 28 years after "Thunder in My Heart" originally peaked on the same chart.[16] It was Meck's debut single on the chart to debut at the number one position dated 18 February 2006,[17] and was Sayer's second number one song on the chart at the age of 57 years, 8 months.[18]
