Dave Bayley of Glass Animals told Billboard of the achievement, "Wow, all I can say is wow. Many of you know when I wrote this song I was writing about missing someone I loved very dearly. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that it would lead to so much love and connection across the globe. You all have done that. Thank you to everyone who has helped this song reach so many people. You know who you are. Thank you."
In March the same song also broke another Billboard Hot 100 chart record by becoming the first song by a British group to top the chart for multiple weeks since Spice Girls' "Wannabe" in 1997.
