In 2017, the song was voted by the British public as The Nation's Favourite Elton John Song in a UK-wide poll for ITV. A demo version was included in John's 1990 box set album To Be Continued. The song is listed among the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

In 1998, "Your Song" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The song also peaked at number 7 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as charting in the top 10 in several other countries. Both sides received airplay, but "Your Song" was preferred by disc jockeys and replaced "Take Me to the Pilot" as the A-side, eventually making it to number eight on the Billboard chart. Following " Border Song" as the first album single, "Your Song" was released in the United States in October 1970 as the B-side to " Take Me to the Pilot". John's version was recorded at Trident Studios in London in January 1970 and appeared in April as the first cut on his self-titled second studio album. They did not release it as a single as they wanted to let John, then an upcoming artist, have a go with it. John was an opening act for the band at the time and allowed them to record it. "Your Song" was first released by American rock band Three Dog Night in March 1970 as an album track on It Ain't Easy. It was John's first international Top 10 chart single. " Your Song" is a song written by English musician Elton John and songwriter Bernie Taupin, and performed by John.
