In 2014, "Blink" was covered by German dance act Cascada. The single was released on March 28, 2014.[2]

### Background

[edit]

On 12 December 2013, German DJ and producer CJ Stone revealed that he was working on a remix for the latest Cascada release. He shared with eager fans that the single is titled "Blink" and would be released in early 2014.[3] The track was originally recorded and released by pop group U.V.U.K. in 2012.[4] However the single was not commercially a success, so it was given to Cascada to release.[5]

### Music video

[edit]

On 10 January 2014, Cascada lead singer Natalie Horler posted on Facebook that they were busy planning the music video for the new single.[6] On 15 January 2014, she posted that they were getting ready for the video shoot.[7] Horler posted a teaser of the video on 12 March 2014,[8] and the full video premiered on 27 March 2014.[9]

The video starts off with Horler singing to the screen in numerous positions on a completely white background, using many hand gestures. She is then shown singing the song and doing moves in various different areas, including a box-like area, at times interspersed with other dancers.
