In a 2007 interview, vocalist Sebastian Bach commented, "'I Remember You' was the #1 prom song in the United States of America in the year 1990....You talk about making memories! Literally the whole country of America did their prom dance to 'I Remember You' one year, and that's a real heavy memory to beat." The song also appears in the film adaptation of Rock of Ages, where Drew and Sherrie are in Tower Records at the beginning of the film.
