During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Julia Stiles participated in a round of fan questions. One fan brought up "10 Things I Hate About You" and wanted to know if it was true that she was the one who suggested that Heath Ledger sing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." In the scene, Patrick uses the stadium stairs as a stage to sing the song as a way to win back Kat after the two get into an argument.

Stiles, at first, jokingly takes credit for the song choice before revealing that the rumor isn't true (although she wishes it was). However, she does have great memories from that day of filming. Stiles recalled, "My favorite memory of that day — the whole day. [Ledger] was just phenomenal, running up and down those stadium steps. And nobody knew that he had this amazing voice, and he just went full out, and I got to watch it."
