'Very Special' was covered by Big Daddy Kane in 1993. It was the second single released from his fifth studio album, Looks Like a Job For... Produced by Kane himself, the song is based on—and thus musically incorporates 'Very Special'. It is a duet with Salt-n-Pepa member DJ Spinderella. The chorus was performed by vocalists Karen Anderson and Laree Williams.

The song became an American Top 40 hit, becoming Big Daddy Kane's first and only single to crack the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 31.

Other cover versions and sampling[edit]

  • In early 2003, Jennifer Lopez sampled 'Very Special' in her international hit song, 'All I Have', which reached number one in the US. This usage became the subject of a lawsuit by Laws as a result of Elektra Records giving their unilateral consent to the sampling.
  • In 2013, K. Michelle sampled the song in 'V.S.O.P.', which charted almost identically to Laws' original on both the pop (#89) and R&B charts (#13).
  • In 2014, Crystal Kay covered the song in Japanese, featuring Sandaime J Soul Brothers' vocalist Ryuji Imaichi.[5]
