It peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, marking Rema's first top-ten hit and Gomez's ninth.

We spoke and danced... but her friends didn't let me get any closer which killed the vibe, but afterwards when they weren’t there, we stayed in touch and hit it off.Miami-based Amanda Ibanez, who also goes by her stage name Kiddo AI, was asked by Interscope senior director of A&R Vanessa Angiuli to write a spec verse for Selena Gomez on the song.

[10] Like most girls my age, I grew up watching Selena on Wizards of Waverly Place and always admired her demeanor of being so classy and collected.

[12] Reviewing the remix, Vanguard writer Adegboyega Remmy Adeleye thought Gomez' "melodic tune complements Rema's vibe perfectly, maintaining the same energy as the original release".

[14] Naming the song one of the best of 2022, Rolling Stone said "Rema likes to call his spin on the Afrobeats sound “Afro-rave,” and it is sublimely lovely all the same.

He is the kind of singer who savors simple pop pleasures; with a track that's appropriately warm, bright, and captivating.
