Rimes' version was used on Days of Our Lives as the love theme for Mike Horton and Carrie Brady. The song appears at the very end of King of the Hill’s Season 3, Episode 18. Australian born Irish singer Johnny Logan covered the song on his 2001 album, Reach for Me. The song is semi-frequently used in the webcomic Homestuck (albeit in the form of a cover) due to the character John Egbert's fascination with the movie Con Air'' and, in particular, the scene near the end of the movie during which the song is played.
