Background
Begley's cover took her to number five in the Irish chart.[10] Spears also released the song in the United Kingdom and in Ireland at the same time as Begley, but Begley's version received the highest sales, as Spears' version only went to number 11.[11] Begley occasionally performed the song with Spears and later recorded a tribute song to her after the American star's death in 2011.
