Digital Release Image
The first version of Here For You officially released is the radio edit (3:23 sec). It's available through your regular digital shops.
The Eurovision edit has not been released seperately but can be bought as a single track from the Official Vienna 2015 album. (But I guess y'all got the 2CD by now)

A Vocal Orchestra version is recorded with A capella group Perpetuum Jazzile. (Watch and listen here at Eurovision TV's Youtube).
This one has also been released as a digital 1-track.
