The song became Moliy's highest-charting single in numerous countries worldwide including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, New Zealand and Switzerland. The third remix went viral as well on video-sharing app TikTok following a popular dance challenge before it was officially released, as Gladdest released her own freestyle version on YouTube on March 22, 2025 and it sparked a viral TikTok dance challenge, with over 2.5 million user-generated videos.
