Often considered the group's signature song, "Waterfalls" reached the top five in many territories. The song spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the group their second U.S. number one. The song was the number two song of the year on Billboard's 1995 year-end chart. Internationally, "Waterfalls" also peaked at number one in New Zealand and Switzerland, while reaching the top ten in many other countries.

The song tackled issues of the illegal drug trade, promiscuity and HIV/AIDS. The accompanying music video for the song reflected its socially conscious lyrics. With a million-dollar budget, the video was an MTV staple credited for giving the single much of its success. The video won four MTV Video Music Awards in 1995.
