In 2024 the single was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for 200,000 pure and streaming equivalent sales combined, despite being Feeder's smallest pure-selling single to be certified.

The single includes a U-MYX application that allows the user to mix the track. A competition was held by the band's website "Feederweb" in which fans sent their remixes into a specially designed website in which they could upload their new mix, and the best one would then appear on the vinyl release of the next single.
