Due to the massive success of Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You," the song did not advance further than No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. Nevertheless, it peaked at No. 1 on the Hot Rap Singles, and No. 9 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
The chorus of the 2008 single, "Paper Planes" by British musician M.I.A. was widely speculated to be based on the chorus,[1][2][3] although the song's writers are not credited.
