"Encore une fois" (French for one more time) is a song by German DJ team Sash!. It was released in January 1997 as the second single from the album, It's My Life - The Album. It found huge success in clubs throughout the world and is considered one of Sash!'s biggest hits to date. The song also features vocals in French by German vocalist Sabine Ohmes.

Song information

The track became a worldwide hit and stormed clubs throughout the world.

It was released in the UK in February 1997 and propelled itself to number 2 on the single charts, quickly earning a Gold certification.

Throughout Europe, the track became a top 20 smash in countries such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. It peaked within the top 10 in France, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and Norway. In Ireland, the song reached the top of the charts.

In the United States, the song became a club smash and hit number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart[1] and stayed on the chart for fourteen weeks.

Two main versions of the song exist. One is the original edit, which was used in the music video and appeared (in extended form) on Sash!'s debut album It's My Life. The second is the Future Breeze edit, which is a much harder version of the track and is the most popular with fans. It appears on Sash!'s best-of albums and as a bonus track (in extended form) on It's My Life.

11 years after it was first released the song again reached the top 40 in three countries as part of a mashup. The music from Sash!'s hit was combined with the vocals from Stunt's "Raindrops" to create a new track "Raindrops (Encore une fois)".
