"derived" this song (I'm sure her album gave credit where credit was due), but the author of the comment regarding "Where is the Love" and its similarity to "Torn" has derived the song for Imbruglia, because this is an old song by Ednaswap, and the fantastic lyrics were written by members of that band.
