===2000s: t.A.T.u., LeAnn Rimes and Belle and Sebastian=== In the 2000s, Horn was hired by [[Interscope Records]] to create English-language versions of songs by the Russian pop duo [[t.A.T.u.]] He wrote new lyrics for "[[All the Things She Said]]" and "[[Not Gonna Get Us]]" and coached t.A.T.u. to sing them in English. He also rerecorded the instruments, as he did not have access to the original multitracks.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Snapes |first=Laura |date=2019-07-23 |title=Trevor Horn on Grace Jones, smoking with Malcolm McLaren, and why video didn't kill the radio star |language=en-GB |work=[[The Guardian]] |url=http://www.theguardian.com/culture/live/2019/jul/19/trevor-horn-webchat-post-your-questions-now |url-status=live |access-date=2023-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422210932/https://www.theguardian.com/culture/live/2019/jul/19/trevor-horn-webchat-post-your-questions-now |archive-date=22 April 2023 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> "All the Things She Said" reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2003-02-02 |title=Controversial duo top UK pop chart |language=en-GB |work=[[BBC News]] |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2718835.stm |url-status=live |access-date=2023-04-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405022807/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2718835.stm |archive-date=5 April 2023}}</ref> In 2020, ''The Guardian'' named it Horn's greatest work since the mid-80s.<ref>{{Cite news |last1=Beaumont-Thomas |first1=Ben |last2=Petridis |first2=Alexis |last3=Snapes |first3=Laura |date=2020-06-05 |title=The 100 greatest UK No 1s: 100-1 |language=en-GB |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/apr/27/the-100-greatest-uk-no-1s |url-status=live |access-date=2023-04-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201018113258/https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/apr/27/the-100-greatest-uk-no-1s |archive-date=18 October 2020 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> For the 2000 film ''[[Coyote Ugly (film)|Coyote Ugly]]'', Horn produced "[[Can't Fight the Moonlight]]" by the American singer [[LeAnn Rimes]].
