It was an international smash hit, the first and most successful single off their album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. It reached No. 30 on Billboard Hot 100 Airplay in January 1999 and No. 36 on the overall Hot 100. It was a bigger hit in the UK, reaching No. 5. The song is an upbeat youth anthem in classic Gregg Alexander production style, based around a piano chord sequence and an electric guitar lick in the background over a steady drumbeat. Many were drawn to the song's optimistic attitude and feel-good atmosphere (the song itself is about remaining true to who you are and not being "a fake"), making it one of the mainstay singles of the late 1990s. It has been played over one million times on U.S. radio. The music video for "You Get What You Give" was filmed in the Staten Island Mall, New York and directed by Evan Bernard. New Radicals' front man Gregg Alexander said he chose this setting because he sees the shopping mall as a metaphor for society - a fake, controlled environment engineered to encourage spending. The video showed a group of teenagers led by Alexander, going through the mall wreaking havoc -- tossing nets on security guards, placing businessmen in animal cages, knocking over merchandise, hijacking Lambrettas, and moshing in the foodcourt. According to some reports, the original idea was to completely destroy the mall, but before the video shoot the teenagers were "too tripped out on ecstasy"? It was apparently filmed from 8 pm to 7 am on a Wednesday and Thursday in March 1998. Only one hour of this was spent on filming the band performing. The New Radicals had a constantly changing lineup, and the video reflects this - the only actual band members seen are Alexander and the drummer, Jon, while the rest are actors miming their instruments.
