Nou în întreaga lume nu prea descrie aceasta piesa, care a reusit sa cucereasca topurile globale la 4 ani de la lansarea sa initiala.
Situatia este inedita chiar si pentru celebrul clasament Billboard Global 200 și Billboard Global Excl. Pe data de 19 iunie, in Global 200, a debutat o altă reinvenție, cea a lui Justin Wellington și a lui Small Jam din Papua Noua Guinee, din Insulele Solomon,. Piesa a debutat pe locul 157 cu „Iko Iko”, preluând un standard a cărui origine datează din 1953 în New Orleans. În timp ce Wellington actualizează versurile melodiei („bestie” se alătură mixului), titlul și melodia rezistă.
Ce este surprinzator este ca artistii au postat melodia pe canalul de Youtube in 2017 iar aceasta a devenit un adevarat hit dupa ce a devenit virala pe TikTok.
