Despite the unconfirmed claims to its validity, the story of David would later come to notoriety, eventually resulting in the phrase 'RIP David Higgs' on a number of uploads of the song. On July 23rd, 2015, a 4chan user going under the pseudonym David Higgs posted a greentext story to the /b/ imageboard detailing a failed relationship he had with an ex-girlfriend that had cheated on him named Julie, and how the song played a large part in that relationship, before ending with his suicide from a drug overdose and vodka.

Part of a collection called INSTRUMENTAL RELICS which is some of my favorite instrumentals, many of which have been previously unavailable to stream. On April 24th, 2020, the song was remastered and released to digital storefronts and streaming services for the first time as a single and as part of Clams Casino's Instrumental Relics compilation after clearing the Imogen Heap sample used throughout the song.

In addition to other unofficial uploads of the song, it's estimated that it currently has over 75 million streams total.

Due to the music video's popularity, its imagery would become associated with the song for the following years. On July 9th, 2011, a fanmade music video for the song, using footage from the 1989 film Perdues dans New York, was uploaded by AceDaCreator to Youtube (shown below), where, in slightly over 9 years, it would garner over 25 million views.

Utilizing cut-up vocals sampled from Imogen Heap's 2005 song 'Just for Now' (shown below, right), it was later released for free by Clams Casino on June 4th, 2012 as a part of his second instrumentals mixtape, which comprised of instrumentals and productions for other artists, following an unofficial release in 2011. 'I'm God' was produced by Michael Volpe, better known by his stage name Clams Casino, and given to rapper Lil B to be a part of his first studio album 6 Kiss, released on December 22nd, 2009 (music video shown below, left).
