In a 2023 interview, Nadine Coyle expressed an intense dislike for "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me", sarcastically referring to it as a "mirage" that "didn't happen". She previously felt so negatively towards the song that when it was going to be the comeback single from their 2012 greatest hits and reunion album, Ten, she initially declined to participate, only agreeing once it was changed to "Something New". Nadine disagrees with the message of the song, saying "Beautiful ’cause you love me’? We’re beautiful anyway!"
