The story according to Meat (don't know if it is true), is that Meat was recording AKIATTTW and he heard Boyzone's No matter what and told the production team that it was all wrong and he felt he knew the proper way to do the song and asked to record it... this being the reason Meat was the only performer on the concept album to get 2 songs. To me this sounds like a made up Meat story, but I will give Meat props in that his version is the far superior one.
