Nevertheless, in 1987 she returned to Jamaica and music. In the summer of 1994 she re-recorded and re-released the single "You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)" (with Steely & Clevie on production), topping the charts in the U.S., Europe, and her native Jamaica.[2] Subsequently, her single has been sampled by the artists Kano, Hexstatic, Jae Millz, Ghostface Killah and Rihanna. Their versions were all renamed as "No, No, No", bar Ghostface's which was named "New Splash". Lily Allen has also sampled "You Don't Love Me" in her song, "LDN". The song was also performed by Blue King Brown on Australian youth radio network Triple J as part of their Like A Version program in 2006.
