Musician and producer David Z adapted Brenda's vocals in this song to produce the distinctive backing vocals in "Kiss", the smash hit for Prince.[6] Lee's voice from "Sweet Nothin's" was sampled in Kanye West's song "Bound 2" on his 2013 album Yeezus,[7] which in turn was sampled by Sigma in their 2014 song, "Nobody to Love", which also uses the same vocal sample from "Sweet Nothin's" as "Bound 2" does.

In popular culture

The song was used in a 1985 TV commercial for Molson Canadian beer in Canada.^{[citation needed]}
