A large part of her popularity comes from the presence of "Let Go", Frou Frou's SignatureSong, in the movie ''Film/GardenState'', and the use of "Hide and Seek" -- first in the season 2 finale of ''Series/TheOC'', then in the 'Dear Sister' skit on Series/SaturdayNightLive, and finally in Jason Derulo's song 'Whatcha Say'.
