New Radicals reunited on January 20, 2021, to perform “You Get What You Give” as part of the Inauguration of Joe Biden . The song was used by Vice President Kamala Harris ‘s husband, Doug Emhoff , during 2020 campaign rallies, and was referred to by Joe Biden in his autobiography, Promise Me, Dad , as his family’s “rallying ‘theme song’” during his late son Beau Biden ‘s terminal battle with glioblastoma . Alexander said that he hopes the group’s performance of the song can be a “tiniest beacon of light in such a dark time”. Alexander told Rolling Stone that he was unable to reunite the original New Radicals touring band for the performance due to COVID-19-related restrictions, and he and Brisebois were instead accompanied by musicians from the Philadelphia area.
