Chart performance
editAlthough the song failed to secure a spot in the national finals of Melodifestivalen, it garnered immense popularity among the Swedish public. As the competition drew to a close in March 2013, the song found its place on the prestigious Sverigetopplistan official Swedish Singles Chart. Notably, this achievement marked Razaz's inaugural appearance on the chart, following the disbandment of REbound!
