"Torn" is a song written by Scott Cutler, Anne Preven and Phil Thornalley in 1993. It was first recorded that year in Danish (renamed "Brændt", Danish for "Burned") by singer Lis Sørensen, then in 1993 by Cutler and Preven's American alternative rock band Ednaswap, and in 1996 by American-Norwegian singer Trine Rein. "Torn" is best known as Australian pop singer Natalie Imbruglia's 1997 debut single. Her version peaked at number one on the singles charts of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Spain and Sweden, as well as on three US Billboard charts.
Natalie Jane Imbruglia, born 4 February 1975, is an Australian-British singer-songwriter and actress of Italian, English and Irish descent. In the early 1990s, she played Beth Brennan in the Australian soap opera Neighbours. Three years after leaving the programme, she began a singing career with her chart-topping "Torn". Her subsequent album, Left of the Middle (1997), sold 7 million copies worldwide.
"Torn" sold more than one million copies in the United Kingdom alone. As of 2011, "Torn" was the most played song on Australian radio since 1990, an average of 75 a day. In October 1997, it broke the airplay record in the UK (more than 2000 plays) for six weeks. Rick Dees, in his Top 40 Chart show, named "Torn" as the 'number one radio single of 1990s' in the 2000 Millennium Countdown show broadcast from KIIS-FM on New Year's Eve.
