The song served as the theme song for the third cycle of Germany's Next Topmodel and has been used in advertisements for the CBS reality show, The Amazing Race 12.[2] Along with other songs from the album, "Amazing" was also used on the NBC Sunday Night Football, playing right before commercial breaks.
