The Brazilian singer Alex Ferrari registered it with Music Edition: Jeff Records and recorded it in March 2011 and interpreted it on many occasions in his home country. His version gained most popularity though on European night venues. As his version made rounds online, it was erroneously attributed at times to Michel Teló, although it was eventually proven as being a version recorded by Alex Ferrari himself.
A studio version he produced was released in August 2012 by EMI Music France, having charted in France, where it peaked at #1 as at week-ended 19 August 2012,[3] making Ferrari the third Brazilian act to top the French Singles Chart in 2012.
