In 2015, "God Gave Me You" experienced a major surge in popularity in the Philippines after it became associated with AlDub—a popular on-air couple seen on the Kalyeserye segment of the local variety show Eat Bulaga!. White learned of the phenomenon in September 2015 after noting the significant amount of discussion related to AlDub and the song on Twitter. He explained that "the one thing that was reinforced for me is to never underestimate the impact of music and what it can do. Many years ago I worked hard in making that the best it can be, and it just goes to show that it's in God's timing. It was a hit in the United States but nothing compared to here now."[3]
