Sampling

The song's guitar hook was interpolated in "Really Love" by KSI featuring Craig David and Digital Farm Animals, which peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart in October 2020. [19] DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremonies are therefore credited as co-songwriters on the song.

In September 2021, British rapper Tinie Tempah released the single "Love Me Like This" featuring vocalist Maia Wright which interpolates the lyric "Do you really like it, is it is it wicked". [20] [21]
