"You Get What You Give" is american power pop and alternative rock band New Radicals' biggest hit, and their most successful single from their only studio album, Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. Released on November 3, 1998, it reached number 36 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song amassed large amounts of popularity, becoming a defining hit of the late 1990s. The first and second verses focused on political verses, while the third one featured a short diss of Beck, Hanson, Courtney Love, and Marilyn Manson. This was done purposefully by main singer-songwriter Gregg Alexander to see if the media focused on the third verse instead of the first two. He was correct.
