In 2014, German DJ and record producer Robin Schulz remixed the song, and the remix was re-released in June 2014. He used a CD of Invincible Friends as the source, and initially made his remix available as a free download, to the consternation of the copyright owners, Wagram Music.[1]
The Schulz remix topped the charts in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Luxembourg, France, the Netherlands, Belgium (both the Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia regions), Greece, Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Denmark, Finland, Mexico, Norway, Sweden, Romania, Portugal, Spain, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. This track also reached the top 10 in Australia and New Zealand and charted in the top 40 in Canada and United States. In September 2014, Kiesza covered the song on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.[2][3]
Background
"Prayer in C" is set in common time at a tempo of 120 beats per minute.[4] Despite its name, the song is actually recorded in the key of A minor, so the "C" may indicate "Christ", rather than the musical key. Although, A minor is the relative minor of C major, so the title may still be a loose reference to the composition. Additionally, it sounds like "prayer and see", as in "pray and see what’s happening around you."[5]
