The song has been used in the Smallville episode "Hothead" and the Malcolm in the Middle episode "Hal Coaches". The Detroit Red Wings chose Motivation to be their opening song each home game in 2003. It has been used in the video game Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock.
The music video is of the band playing in Steve Jocz' bedroom located in Ajax Ontario. The room is piled with garbage and other various items.
