- Career Resurrection:Grown Backwards marked a huge resurgence of popularity for Byrne among critics (being his first critical success since Rei Momo in 1989) thanks to it crafting a niche that allowed him to more readily stand out on his own, and he continued to rise as an indie favorite afterwards, ultimately becoming Talking Heads' main Breakup Breakout. This would eventually culminate in his Breakthrough Hit albums Love This Giant and American Utopia.
- Channel Hop: Grown Backwards marked a move from Byrne's vanity label Luaka Bop (which he left to get away from the stress of both managing it and having an active music career at the same time) to Nonesuch Records, under whom Byrne currently remains active.
- Cut Song: Byrne's rendition of "Un Dì, Felice, Eterea" was originally recorded for the soundtrack to Dirty Pretty Things, only for it to be rejected; Byrne ended up using it as the penultimate track on this album instead.
