Irish singer Ronan Keating covered the song for his debut solo album Ronan, released in 2000. As part of a Pepsi promotion, a 3" CD single of "In This Life" was issued in December 2000 exclusively in Tesco stores. The song failed to chart due to its ineligibility, as 3" singles are not able to chart. On October 17, 2009, Keating performed the song at the funeral of his bandmate Stephen Gately, and as such, the track entered the Irish Singles Chart at number 45 for the week of October 22, 2009.
