The cast of Glee covered the song in their second season episode, \"Original Song\". In the episode, Blaine Anderson (Darren Criss) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) performed \"Candles\" as a duet as part of The Warblers\' setlist for Regionals. As with almost every song performed on the show, the Glee cover was released as a digital single, on March 15, 2011. It is also included on the soundtrack album Glee: The Music Presents the Warblers. The Glee version proved to be more commercially successful than the original, charting in Australia, Canada, The United Kingdom, and The United States.
