Euphoria. A remixed version of the song was included on Loreen's debut album ''
Heal'' (2012).
Album remix version received favorable reviews. Scandipop.co.uk claimed that the singles (including this song) don't ever "dip below being a 9.5 out of 10 moment." Higher Plain Music wrote positively claiming that it "returns to the catchy low-key whispery verse / vocal display chorus over earlier tracks" but that is more stop/start to make big distinctions" comparing to other songs in album.

I would have liked to have had the original cut of “Sober” as a bonus track at the end."
