"Now You're Gone" is a song performed by Swedish dance musician Basshunter in cooperation with DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz. The single uses the same music as "Boten Anna", Basshunter's major European hit in 2006, but its lyrics, performed in English by Sebastian Westwood, are completely different.

The song was covered by Crazy Frog as "Everyone", on his third studio album. It has also been parodied by former BBC Radio 1 host, Chris Moyles.

Differences from "Boten Anna"

Dutch DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz collaborated with Swedish musician Basshunter on "Now You're Gone". Swedish music producer Robert Uhlmann produced the song with Basshunter.

In 2007, DJ Mental Theo used the "Boten Anna" instrumental to create a bootleg English-language version for his DJ sets in Magaluf, Mallorca. It was this song that eventually became released as a single.

The song's theme is different from "Boten Anna"; "Boten Anna" is about an IRC bot, and "Now You're Gone" is about a young couple breaking up. The music video expands on this theme, although it suggests a reunion of the couple, which is not referenced in the song itself. The tempo of the song has also been increased compared to "Boten Anna".
