German singer Sandra covered "Hiroshima" and released her version as a single in January 1990, with production by Michael Cretu.
Sandra decided to cover the anti-war "Hiroshima" out of her concern about the political unrest happening in countries like Lebanon, China and Romania in the late 1980s.

The clip was released on Sandra's VHS video compilation 18 Greatest Hits in 1992[9] and the 2003 DVD The Complete History.
Music & Media wrote, "A slow, moody number that is spoilt by the obviousness of the production but is, in fact, a charming song with a fine melody.
