Song history
editWhile the original Luv' members were reunited in the Spring of 1993 and promoting the "Gold" compilation and the Megamix '93 single, Jacques Zwart, who had produced the 1989-1992 line-up, signed a deal with the German label Edel Music to release a new version of the Hit-medley as a Maxi single. With the help from M. Hilver, Zwart remixed this medley and renamed it LUV Dance-Medley to adapt it to the Eurodance sound which dominated the European charts at this time (2 Unlimited, Culture Beat, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, Snap!, U96...). Moreover, a song taken from the For You EP, No Cure No Pay, was also rearranged in the Dance style in order to be added to the Maxi single. LUV Dance-Medley was only available in German speaking countries and as an import record in Benelux. Despite Zwart's efforts to conform to the Dance music standards and because of the lack of promotion by Luv', the Medley didn't top the charts. However, the Megamix '93 single recorded by the original trio reached the Dutch Top 40.
