Such a nostalgic, feel-good song. White Chicks has cemented this as one of the most memorable songs of the 00's, if nothing else.

I loved this when it was out but to this day it's extremely overplayed.

Can't hear this song without thinking of White Chicks anymore, but on it's own it's a really well-made pop song.

An iconic meme song. Also unironically amazing.

The lyrics are cheesy but the song just makes you feel so carefree and lax.
Perfect road trip song

Overplayed back in the day (101.9 the Mix and 103.5 Kiss FM played in my market) but the song has grown on me. One of the best pure pop songs of the 2000s. I also remember this song in the Wayans Brothers movie "White Chicks" as already mentioned when I was younger.

"A Thousand Miles" is featured on Vice's series "The Story Of"... some really interesting insights. Vanessa is so underrated

The timeline of that got me really confused too. The song peaked in May 2002, about 2 years before the movie came out (June 2004).
If they wanted to mention the movie, they could've said it helped embedding the song in pop-culture consciousness. Saying it was responsible for the song becoming a hit made no sense

Besides some rough edges in the vocals, this is literally perfect.

Still a great song. The overly emo-esque vocals aged quickly, otherwise this song was a pioneer of the contemporary that would become a staple of the decade, especially the later half. This song easily could've smashed just as well if it came out in 2006

I've always been confused about how it's implied White Chicks made this song famous. I know I have watched that movie, but if it weren't for memes and whatnot, I wouldn't have remembered this song was even in it lol. Vanessa is so underrated, but I'm so glad she made bank from this one track. FYI, for those that didn't know; this song was actually in 2001's Legally Blonde and the soundtrack.

I know this song was a huge hit but I feel like this song randomly achieved legendary status in the last few years. It's a classic for sure but surprised at how ubiquitous it has become

Pop gold. I still get happy every single time I hear this, even 20 years later.
