"Broken Vow" was featured as an insert song in the Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden II. It has a music video consisting of several scenes from the drama.
Josh Groban first recorded the song in 2002 on his album, Closer. It has also been recorded by Emile Pandolfi (2005), G4 (2005), Petra Berger and Jan Vayne (2008), and Thomas Spencer-Wortley (2009).[1] It is also a single by Philippines singer Sarah Geronimo in a duet with Mark Bautista and appeared in her debut album Popstar: A Dream Come True. The song has also been performed by Kyla and Jay-R. Julie Anne San Jose (2012) also made a cover of the song as the theme song of the Philippine TV drama series of the same name.
Fabian rewrote the song with French lyrics for Jackie Evancho, who included it in her 2011 album, Dream With Me, under the name "Imaginer". The original meaning of the song, about a sad love, is completely changed in the French version to describe a dream of a peaceful world.[2][1]
Harrison Craig, winner of The Voice series 2, sang "Broken Vow" as his audition, recorded the song with full orchestra and has produced a definitive rendering of Fabian's song.
