Fellow Australian football full-forward Warwick Capper is reputed to have recorded the single "I Only Take What's Mine" as a result of the success of "I'm an Individual".[2][3] The music video for "I Only Take What's Mine" includes footage of Capper throwing darts at a picture of Jackson.[2]
The song was featured in the 2012 play Barassi: The Stage Show.[4]
