The single has received over 1 billion streams on Spotify as of June 2021, and peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 after amassing popularity through the video-sharing app TikTok.

On December 2, 2022, Powfu released his first full-length album, surrounded by hounds and serpents, which included a cover of Taylor Swift's "Mine". In an interview with Billboard, he stated that this album title describes his search to spot "people who are fake or only want [him] for the wrong reasons".

The song will be featured on the upcoming Flooding the Gates EP -a full collection of songs written and recorded by the 3 artists on the road during Powfu’s Flooding the GatesTour in June 2022.
