Tyra Banks, in the interview, said that she was passionate about doing the sequel and she even reached out to the producer and other team members, including the writer. The actor shared that she felt like they need to organise an event on social media that would encourage people to come together and act in support of the idea similar to a petition to get people signed for the making of the sequel. Tyra Banks said how passionately she wants to do the project and that she worked with the writer as well as Warren, who did the original music with Rimes, and that they are also excited for the project.
Coyote Ugly's songs were certified 5x Platinum in the country of Canada. The soundtrack of the film received widespread acclaim from critics.
