Mis-Teeq promoted the song by appearing in Coca-Cola television commercials aired in 2003 to coincide with the song's release, resulting in extra publicity. [53] The song was then featured in promotions for the 2004 film Catwoman . Originally, the film's theme song was to be Britney Spears' "Outrageous", but Spears broke her knee on the set of the music video and the idea was scrapped. This resulted in "Scandalous" becoming the theme song.[ citation needed ] It was also featured in the 2024 film Madame Web .

The song is also featured on the fictional radio station "Non-Stop Pop FM" in GTA V.
