In the 2000 live-action film, Jim Carrey performs the song in character as the Grinch, singing about himself. The stage musical adaptation included the song in the score, among several other original numbers composed specifically for that production.

The lead single from the film "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" was performed by Tyler, the Creator, and composed by Tyler and Elfman, which featured in the first trailer of the film. The animated lyric video for the film was also released on the same date.
