TLC performed the song at the 2008 BET Awards along with Alicia Keys.
In a 2007 interview, while discussing some songs of his he felt were underrated, Paul McCartney commented that he felt TLC had ripped off some aspects of his song "Waterfalls".
At Left Eye's funeral, the lyrics "Dreams are hopeless aspirations, in hopes of coming true, believe in yourself, the rest is up to me and you" were engraved to her casket.

Famous quotes containing the word song:
“Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.”
—Bible: Hebrew Song of Solomon, 2:5.
“The city sleeps and the country sleeps,
The living sleep for their time, the dead sleep for their time,
The old husband sleeps by his wife and the young husband sleeps by his wife;
And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them,
And such as it is to be of these more or less I am,
And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
