"Bootylicious" created moderate controversy due to pushing the boundaries of female sexuality. Destiny's Child was claiming "[[Motion Picture Association film rating system|G-rated]] fun" and confidence in body image through the lyrics, yet the song's music video suggested much more with the group wearing heavy make-up, form-fitting clothes, performing sexually suggestive dancing, and the video featuring close-ups on several dancers' [[buttocks]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cpyu.org/Page_p.aspx?id=76738|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101116200806/http://cpyu.org/Page_p.aspx?id=76738|url-status=dead|title=The Center for Parent/Youth Understanding – Destiny's Child: Pop Music Pied Pipers|archive-date=November 16, 2010}}</ref> The song popularized the [[portmanteau]] term "bootylicious", a combination of the words "[[wikt:booty|booty]]" and "delicious", although the term had already been used by [[Snoop Dogg]] in the song "[[Fuck wit Dre Day (And Everybody's Celebratin')]]" (aka "Dre Day" from [[Dr. Dre]]'s 1992 album ''[[The Chronic]]'') as a pejorative. "Bootylicious" is also mentioned by a character named Champ ([[Shaun Baker (actor)|Shaun Baker]]) in the 1993 "Homey, Don't Ya Know Me?" episode of ''[[A Different World]]''. The term was also used previously in the 1999 video game ''[[Duke Nukem: Time to Kill]]'' as the name of a strip club.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_articulo.php?pic=PC&id=cw4d961eba91806&idj=&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=9 |title=Regreso al Pasado: Duke Nukem – Artículo en MERISTATION |publisher=Meristation.com |access-date=September 19, 2011 |archive-date=September 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110929150337/http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_articulo.php?pic=PC&id=cw4d961eba91806&idj=&idp=&tipo=art&c=1&pos=9 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The success of the song came after the rise in media visibility of voluptuous personalities such as [[Jennifer Lopez]]. There was a media perception that the appearance of these women corresponded to an appreciation of the supposedly neglected larger hips and thighs common in the figures of black and Latina women. The approving neologism "bootylicious" has entered the mainstream English language as part of the crossover of African-American popular culture, fashion, and sexual politics.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA475536.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081012145611/http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA475536.html|url-status=dead|title=Library Journal|archive-date=October 12, 2008|website=www.schoollibraryjournal.com}}</ref> In September 2011, VH1 ranked "Bootylicious" at number 19 on its list "The 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s".<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Anderson|first=Kyle|url=http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/09/29/vh1-100-greatest-songs-of-2000s-list/|title=U2, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse, Foo Fighters fill out VH1's '100 Greatest Songs of the '00s'|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|publisher=[[Time Inc.]]|date=September 29, 2011|access-date=October 2, 2011}}</ref> Rowland has mentioned that "Bootylicious" is the most irritating Destiny's Child song to her since she has heard it too many times.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/rowland%20cant%20stand%20bootylicious_1057096|title=ContactMusic.com 2008|website=contactmusic.com}}</ref>
