By January 2023, the song had accumulated over 150 million total streams and had spent 13 weeks on the Billboard Japan Streaming Songs chart. It has also been covered by numerous artists, most notably Ado. As of March 2025, "Overdose" had surpassed 200 million streams, marking it as a major hit.[6]
