In the end Tiffany won her case and the song was recorded and put on her debut album and became the third single.

The b-side to the single of "Could've Been" was the track "The Heart of Love".

For the music video, music video stations played a live performance of "Could've Been" where fans sang along as Tiffany sang the song live.
