It's one of her best songs and reminded people how she could/can write if she actually tries..... Plus the video of them singing it on The Dance was perfect for social media memes, where it lives forever (even tho it pre dates the internet)

Plus it gave Stevie another chance to tell the world how her song got screwed on being cut from Rumours. Its in the Rumours 20th anniversary show about her parking lot moment with Mick. This story over and over portrayed Stevie and the song as a victim that sort of brought everyone back together and was the showcase for the Dance. Silver Springs got its just desserts.
In the interview I posted Stevie claimed the band "put a gun to her head" and said if she did not consent to I Don't Want To Know then she would only get 2 songs. I think this is a reason she resents I Don't Want To Know so much to this day.
So glad she survived her being held at gun point.
