The video has become a regular fixture for the past two months on the CVM Hitlist countdown charts, and now the video has hit the No. 1 spot.

"It feels great that the song is number one. The fans voted and the song was number one last week on the countdown, the video is also playing on RE TV, HYPE TV, MD TV, CVM Plus and several other local and international stations, so it is giving me a lot of exposure," Rickey Teetz said.
