Chanel continues its remarkable global run in the meantime. Since its October 2025 release, the song has dominated social media with dance challenges, appeared on the Billboard Global 200, and climbed viral charts all over the world.

A spike in social media content resulted from the song's entry into Spotify's Top 200 India charts. This excitement was heightened by Tyla's trip to Mumbai, which turned it into a major cultural event.

The Grammy winner arrived in Mumbai for the first time and quickly turned her debut into a memorable cultural experience. Performing at the vibrant Indian Sneakers Festival, the 22-year-old delivered a high-energy 60-minute set that served both as an introduction and a promise of more to come.
