Samantha Mumba Version
In 2000 Samantha Mumba released her version of the song on her debut LP Gotta Tell You. Due to the lack of popularity of the original version, performed by Divine, throughout the world (except in the USA), Mumba's label decided to release the song as a single internationally. The single was released in the Autumn of 2001, followed by a commercial release in December 2001. The single managed to peak at number 6 in the UK Singles Chart.
Mumba's version is the most popular version to date internationally.
"Lately" was the fifth and final single from "Gotta Tell You" internationally. It is technically the album's sixth single overall.

Famous quotes containing the word version:
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
