It has reached #1 in 41 countries, including a #1 on the radio airplay chart in their home country (the U.S.A.). On the global charts, the song peaked at #5 on the SoundCharts Global Digital/Streaming Chart.

Chilean singer/songwriter Nick Bolt rises 9 notches to #5 with "Dramático". They're joined in the Top 10 by Mexican singer Danni Moreno, who's climbing 9 spots to #8 with "Adicción".
