The song surpassed major industry names such as The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, and Billie Eilish. It achieved remarkable success without traditional promotional avenues like radio play, setting itself apart in an industry often dominated by mainstream artists.

Millions of Views Propelled the Song to the Top
