Gotye, the Belgian-Australian singer-songwriter, put "Learnalilgivinanlovin" on Like Drawing Blood, his second album, and released it as a single in Australia in 2006. He wrote it, and he leans hard on vintage Motown for it, Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson and the Miracles in particular, right down to a drum sample lifted from the Ronettes' "Be My Baby", Phil Spector's Wall of Sound and all. François Tétaz mixed it and added production.
The song kept coming back. A new version, with the chorus sung higher, came out as a single in Belgium in 2008, and Neon Gold Records released another take. The video for the Australian version first surfaced on YouTube in December 2007.
