This was originally recorded in Turkish by the Turkish pop star Tarkan. The Turkish hit was called Simiark ("Spoilt") and it reached the Top 3 in several European countries. In the Turkish version, the chorus ends with 2 kiss sounds. Holly Valance's version has the same instrumentation, but the lyrics are in English.
Holly Valance (real name: Vukadinovi) is an Australian actress who played Felicity "Flick" Scully in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, which also gave us Kylie Minogue. Valance is related to the British comedian Benny Hill - Hill's cousin was her grandfather. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)

What it is is that Holly made the song FOR Tarkan, who sang it first, but then Holly became a singer so she sang it - It looked like a cover that way.

But Holly Valance actually admitted that her version was a cover and Tarkan's was the original. Also Tarkan's version came out a year earlier, so this is a cover version

Actually this isn't a cover.
Holly actually made the song in English and Tarkan covered it in turkish and this is prooved because the Taran verion credits Holly Valance as the Original writer.
