Despite its initial promotion, "Worthy to Say" quickly faded from the spotlight and failed to match the success of the album's previous singles, mostly due to the fact that in early 2001, the band had already began recording their third album, ''[[Silver Side Up]]'', with producer [[Rick Parashar]].<ref name="Nickelback New Album Silver Side Up Produced By Rick Parashar">{{cite web |title=Nickelback New Album Silver Side Up Produced By Rick Parashar |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/nickelback-preps-for-silver-3-doors-down-dates-79009/ |website=Billboard |publisher=Billboard Staff |access-date=25 July 2001}}</ref> Once the lead single for the new album, "[[How You Remind Me]]",<ref>{{cite web |title=Top 40 Best Rock Albums From 2001 |url=https://loudwire.com/best-rock-albums-2001/ |website=Loudwire |publisher=Chad Childers |access-date=11 February 2021}}</ref> was released in 2001 and became a global phenomenon,<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback's Chad Kroeger Goes Deep on 'How You Remind Me,' The Fight That Inspired It & His 'Jesus Christ' Hair in the Video |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/nickelback-chad-kroeger-interview-how-you-remind-me-9553460/ |website=Billboard |publisher=Maria Sherman |access-date=8 April 2021}}</ref> reaching number one on the [[Billboard Hot 100]],<ref name="StereoGum">{{cite web |title=The Number Ones: Nickelback's "How You Remind Me" |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2201620/the-number-ones-nickelbacks-how-you-remind-me/columns/the-number-ones/ |website=StereoGum |publisher=Tom Breihan |access-date=7 October 2022}}</ref> and [[Roadrunner Records]] prioritized the new material over continuing promotion for ''The State'' and its singles effectively resulting in abandoning "Worthy to Say"{{'s}} marketing campaign and no further official releases or acknowledgment from the band or their new label.<ref name="Top 30 Best Rock Albums of 2000">{{cite web |title=Top 30 Best Rock Albums of 2000 |url=https://loudwire.com/best-rock-albums-2000/ |website=Loudwire |publisher=Chad Childers |access-date=1 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback's New Album Silver Side Up Shakes Up The Music Industry |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/silver-side-up-251931/ |website=Rolling Stone |publisher=Matt Diehl |access-date=17 September 2001}}</ref><ref name="Nickelback: A retrospective timeline of the band you love (to hate)">{{cite web |title=Nickelback: A retrospective timeline of the band you love (to hate) |url=https://www.mlive.com/music/2012/04/nickelback_a_retrospective_tim.html |website=MLive |publisher=John Serba |access-date=10 April 2012}}</ref> The video has since become a rarity, surviving primarily through fan-recorded VHS tapes of its [[MTV Canada]] broadcasts, later uploaded to platforms like [[YouTube]]. Although "Worthy to Say" did not receive significant radio airplay or chart placements in the United States its enduring appeal lies in its representation of their early work that contributed to their rise to fame. ''The State'' was the band's breakthrough album.<ref name="Nickelback - The State (Singles & Stats)">{{cite web |title=Nickelback - The State (Singles & Stats) |url=https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/f4a5efdc-bf28-3818-94f0-fd1bad20a2e6 |website=MusicBrainz |publisher=Roadrunner Records |access-date=18 November 2008}}</ref><ref name="Nickelback 1999 The Year in Review">{{cite web |title=Nickelback 1999 The Year in Review |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000301225417/http://www.nickelback.com/disc.htm |website=nickelback.com |publisher=Chief |access-date=9 March 2025}}</ref>

''Worthy to Say'' did not achieve mainstream chart success as the three prior singles from ''[[The State (album)|The State]]'',<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback's Little Known Early Singles That Are Unlike Anything They Release Now |url=https://www.geocities.ws/kenisonmark/nickelback.htm |website=GeoCities |publisher=Mark Kenison |access-date=10 March 2025}}</ref> however, it holds a unique place in the band's history due to the lack of promotion, effectively making it the only [[Nickelback]] song to date that was officially released as a single but never appeared on any of the major [[music charts]].<ref name="Nickelback Complete Chart History">{{cite web |title=Nickelback Complete Chart History |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/nickelback/chart-history/hsi/ |website=Billboard Music |publisher=Billboard |access-date=10 March 2025}}</ref>
