Joni Mitchell elogiou a música nos comentários do seu álbum de compilação de 2004, descrevendo-a como uma "flor de esperança" que surge do "pântano da 'McMusic'".
O guitarrista do U2, the Edge, afirmou em uma entrevista à revista Time que "You Get What You Give" era a música com a qual ele sentia mais inveja e que gostaria de ter escrito.
O clipe foi filmado no Staten Island Mall, em Nova York, e utiliza o cenário de shopping como uma metáfora para a sociedade, retratada como um ambiente controlado projetado para incentivar o consumo.
A banda se reuniu após 22 anos para tocar a música na posse de Joe Biden em janeiro de 2021, um ato de homenagem a Beau Biden, filho do presidente que faleceu em 2015 e tinha a canção como favorita.
Gregg Alexander, compositor da faixa, escreveu a música após sonhar que entrava em uma casa onde ouvia música e encontrava Joni Mitchell, que lhe pediu para se sentar.
A música apareceu no trailer do filme "Pushing Tin" (1999) e foi classificada em vários rankings retrospectivos, incluindo a 64ª maior música de "one-hit wonder" de todos os tempos pela VH1 em 2002.
