Tusse also released a French language version of the song. He has declared: "It’s a huge pleasure for me to be able to release “Voices” in French. It’s a song that means a lot to me and have inspired me much. So, it feels very special and genuine to sing the song in French, especially because French is my mother tongue and it’s the first language I ever spoke".[10]
