Samples

Since the 1980s rise of remix culture, "Love Sensation" has been heavily sampled, with large portions of the song incorporated into other works. The original 1989 release of "Ride on Time" by Black Box sampled Holloway's "Thank you baby, 'cause you're right (sic) on time" lyric before a rerecording as well as instrumental portions by the Salsoul Orchestra, and Hartman received writing credit. In 1991, "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch lifted a sample of Holloway's singing. She received singing credit on the No. 1 song, giving her her highest U.S. pop chart hit, and made an appearance performing the chorus in the music video. "Good Vibrations" itself has been frequently sampled including Holloway's contribution.

Parts of the song have been sampled and re-used in songs such as:
