The
Clara Rubensson version
Parallel to the version of "The Ride" by Rafał Brzozowski, there is an alternative version of this song with a different arrangement, performed by its co-author, Swedish singer Clara Rubensson. This version appeared on 11 March 2021[6] that is just before the release of the Polish singer's version as a leak made by one of the music sites. In an interview published on 23 April 2021 for the eurowizja.org portal belonging to the OGAE Polska association, the songwriters revealed that the song was created in 2020 and was ready at the beginning of October with the original purpose for Clara Rubensson (which was to be the fourth single in her output), but with a view to Eurovision Song Contest the song was taken over by Rafał Brzozowski.[7] On 16 July 2021 on the Swedish music market the song "The Ride" by Clara Rubensson was released as a bonus to her cover of the song entitled "Love in Siberia" from the repertoire of the Danish band Laban, the original version of the song was released in 1985.[8][9][non-primary source needed]
