In 2007, a remix with additional dancehall beats and vocals by Danish reggae singer Natasja Saad was released, titled "Calabria 2007", by Rune and Johannes Torpe under the name Enur. This reggae fusion version has been very successful around the world and gained popularity in the United States in mid-to-late 2007. It received heavy club play, eventually entering the playlist of major Top-40/Dance radio stations such as Z100 and KTU. It placed at #80 on Z100's top 100 songs of 2007.[10] This version was featured in a Target advertisement for the 2007–2008 school year, featuring college dorm supplies, and due to the song's prominence in the ad, the song received much exposure.[11]
In 2008, the song hit the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at number 46, making it one of the highest peaking reggae fusion songs in 2008. There is also another remix featuring Mims[12] and a Dominican rap remix featuring Dominican artist Punto Rojo.[13] On 16 January 2008 the song reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart.
Calabria 2007 is one of the last songs recorded by Natasja to be released before her untimely passing after a car accident in Kingston, Jamaica in June 2007. A reworked version of the song titled "Calabria 2008" would be released posthumously on her 2008 English language album "Shooting Star".[14]
On June 18, 2024 it was announced that the song will be featured on the upcoming Just Dance 2025 Edition, set to be released on October 15, 2024.[15]
