In [[popular music]], a '''cover version''', '''cover song''', '''remake''', '''revival''', or simply '''cover''' is a new [[performance]] or [[Sound recording and reproduction|recording]] by a musician other than the original performer or composer of the [[song]]. Originally, it referred to a version of a song released around the same time as the original in order to compete with it. Now, it refers to any subsequent version performed after the original.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Magnus |first=P.D. |title=A Philosophy of Cover Songs |publisher=Open Book Publishers |year=2022 |isbn=978-1-80064-422-9 |pages=3–27 |doi=10.11647/obp.0293 |oclc=1321794085 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
