text: George Michael version English singer-songwriter George Michael covered "True Faith" in 2011 in support of the charity fund Comic Relief. Throughout the song, Michael's vocals are electronically masked using a vocoder, which garnered mixed reactions. In response, he joked: "People like to make exceptions for me." Peaking at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart, the song made its television debut on BBC, as one of five music videos recorded for Red Nose Day 2011.
  Lotte Kestner / The Last of Us Part II version
  The trailer for the 2020 action-adventure video game The Last of Us Part II featured the character Ellie performing an acoustic rendition of the song, which bore a striking resemblance to a 2011 cover by Lotte Kestner. When Kestner revealed that she had not been credited for her cover of the song being featured, the game's director Neil Druckmann apologized and blamed it on an oversight. The game's publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment looked into the matter, and Kestner was subsequently credited on promotional materials. The television adaptation of The Last of Us would eventually feature Kestner's version in the end credits to the episode "Please Hold to My Hand".

  In the 2000 satirical-horror film rendition of American Psycho, the song is featured in the club scene where the protagonist Patrick Bateman (played by Christian Bale) is present.
