In 2009, rapper Lil' Kim released a interpolation of the song called "Download." The song features T-Pain and Charlie Wilson. In 2002, Zapp made a song titled "You've Got Mail" on their album Zapp VI: Back By Popular Demand which is clearly a sequel to "Computer Love". His version got positive reviews from fans. In addition, rapper Fabolous has a song titled 'Computer Love' featured on one of his mixtapes which samples this beat. The beat was used on Smooth's 1998 album, Strawberries, featuring Shaquille O'Neal and Roger Troutman, once again doing his famous voice box. Donell Jones also used the background beat on his 1996 track "In the Hood" from his debut album My Heart. The beat and layout for the track "Wanna Make Love" from R&B group Blackstreet's eponymous debut album, was clearly sampled by "Computer Love". This song is also used in 2Pac's 1993 song I Get Around, and his 1996 song "Thug Passion" and some of the original song's Larenz Tate lyrics were used in Temptations from 2Pac's third album, Me Against The World.

This song was clearly sampled in 1993's Piru Love off of the Bangin' on Wax album by the Bloods & Crips and the song "Scandalous" by E-40 & the Click from the album Game Related. A similar saxophone solo can be heard in the extended version of the original 1985 song, in which only Murdock is heard.
