It's been two decades since Deborah Cox released her now-classic hit, "Nobody's Suppose To Be Here." In a new interview with Billboard, the R&B diva recalled the moment she knew the song connected with the LGBTQ community and her reaction to seeing it performed in an epic RuPaul's Drag Race lip-sync battle.

According to Billboard, Cox's record label commissioned a dance remix to maximize the crossover reach of the gospel-tinged song. Thus, the number one Hex Hector remix was born.

"I will say the dance version is as important to the success of 'Nobody's Supposed to Be Here' as the original version," Anthony "Shep" Crawford, the song's co-writer, told Billboard. "It catapulted her to gay-icon status while it was simultaneously No. 1 at the R&B charts," added record executive Keith Naftaly.

"I realized it was connecting with the gay community after the shows," said Cox. "People were coming to the dressing room in tears and telling me about how the music helped them come out, telling me really intimate stories that I'll have to take to the grave. It almost felt like the gay and lesbian community started to confide in me."

The Canadian singer said those fan interactions inspired her to use her platform to spread love in her music.

"It was a little awkward for me at first, because I didn't realize how profoundly life-changing some of these songs were going to end up being. But I really took on the responsibility and really understood my role and this platform. The reaction to that song made me more conscious of having a message in my music."

Earlier this year, when the iconic hit was featured in an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, Cox's recalls her phone blowing up with notifications.

"Everybody was texting me, hitting me up on Instagram and Facebook. I was like, 'What happened?' and they were like, 'Your song was on RuPaul’s Drag Race!'"

"When I saw the episode, I just hollered like, 'Wow!' Most of the drag queens that I've heard from would say that was their song—they would win competitions with it, it gave birth to their alter egos. It was the perfect choice."

Though Cox, 46, has been performing the song for nearly half of her life, she says she'll never grow bored with it.

"I never, never, never get tired of it. The song will always be alive to me."
