Gwen Stefani wrote the lyrics to "Don't Speak" about the painful end of her seven-year relationship with bassist Tony Kanal. She initially struggled with releasing such a deeply personal song, but it became No Doubt's biggest hit, spending 16 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. Because it was never released as a commercial single in the US, it was ineligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 under Billboard's rules at the time.

The song was composed in just a few days after Sylvester Stallone showed the band an early cut of the film. Stallone was so impressed by the demo that he used it in Rocky III before the final studio version had even been recorded.

"To Sir with Love" was written especially for the 1967 film of the same name starring Sidney Poitier. Lulu, who was just 19 years old, not only sang the song but also made her film debut as one of the rebellious students. Unimpressed with the original theme songs proposed for the film, she pushed composer Mark London to come up with something better, and he quickly wrote the melody that became the final version. The result was the best-selling single of 1967 in the United States, spending five weeks at #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Despite its huge success in America, it was never released as a single in the UK.

“She Drives Me Crazy” was a massive 1989 hit from Fine Young Cannibals’ album The Raw & the Cooked.

It topped the Billboard Hot 100 and helped the band cross over from alternative to mainstream pop success in the late ’80s.

Kiss from a Rose was written by Seal in 1987, but was only a worldwide hit almost a decade later. Released in 1994 on the album Seal II, the song went almost unnoticed on release. Everything changed when director Joel Schumacher heard the track and decided to include it in the end credits of Batman Forever (1995). He even tried to use it in a romantic scene between Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman, but it didn't fit in, yet he insisted on putting it in the film. Schumacher also directed an official music video using footage from the production. The result was overwhelming: the song reached #1 in the US, became one of the biggest hits of the 90s and won three Grammys in 1996 (Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance). The track had appeared before in the film The NeverEnding Story III (1994), but without being so successful.
