A successful 2011 cover of Zanna was performed by Belgian musician and songwriter Selah Sue, Tom Barman and The Subs.

Van Acker has previously met the family in 1998 after having made a remix using the sound of her heartbeat in vitro. However, in 2012, music brought the two back together after having found Zanna Ramaekers's a cappella cover of "Zanna" on YouTube. They performed on the stage at Suikerrock and on the Belgian national TV show "Villa Vanthilt".
A music video to accompany the 2011 re-release of "Zanna" was first released onto YouTube on 28 November 2011 at a total length of three minutes and fifty-seven seconds. [10]
