Scott Cutler, Anne Preven and Phil Thornalley wrote "Torn" back in 1991, with Preven supplying the words, and the song took the long way round before Ednaswap got it on tape. Lis Sørensen got there first, turning it into the Danish-language "Brændt" in 1993, the same year Cutler and Preven put Ednaswap together as an alternative rock band.
Their own reading went onto the band's self-titled 1995 debut and came out as a single from it, which made it the first formal release the song ever had in English. It didn't stay theirs for long: by 1997 it was Natalie Imbruglia's debut single, and that is the version most people know.
