On X (formerly Twitter), pop culture account Pop Base posted snaps viral song's music video and noted that it was released 14 years ago.
Rebecca quote-tweeted the post and wrote, “Girl this video officially older than I was when it dropped.”
“Old hag!” she added.
Totem Magazine also released a cover story and photoshoot about Rebecca and her career to mark the song's 14th year. The photos, which she she shared on Instagram Stories, featured her wearing a tattered “Friday Shirt” and a chic lace skirt.

Despite everything, Rebecca pushed through with her music career.
