(2007)Due to the club mix of the Luther Vandross version of "Shine" becoming so popular, the song was covered by UK dance duo Booty Luv, who released it as their second single less than one year on from the original release of the track.

"Shine" was released in the United Kingdom via the Hed Kandi label on May 14, 2007. The digital EP and single were available since May 7, 2007 in UK and France iTunes Store. The EP was then released to the U.S. iTunes store on July 15, 2008.

"Shine" was well received by radio and was added to the BBC Radio 1's A-playlist. It peaked at number seventeen on the UK airplay chart and number ten on the UK Singles Chart.

The DJ Teddy-O remix of "Boogie 2nite" featured on the Maxi CD is also featured on Big Brovaz's "Re-Entry" album. However, the track is not listed as being a remix on the the back cover.

It was also prominently used on several "Supermodelo 2007" episodes, the Spanish version of "America's Next Top Model".
