[8] The single, accompanied by remixes from notable artists such as French disc jockey Cedric Gervais, Italian Gabry Ponte and Dutch Tiësto, was published between from September to October 2022.

Markos Papadatos from Digital Journal complimented Rexha's vocals for their "crystalline and breathy" quality, along with Guetta's "exceptional" production.

[27] Franz Liesenhoff of DJ Mag found the song as a "not cheap copy or another 0815 slap house cover", complimenting the "iconic" melody and Rexha's "strong" vocals.

"[29] Jack Spilsbury of the same publication praised Rexha's voice and found the song "exciting and thrilling, containing energy to accompany every club night or festival mainstage".

[32] Bradley Stern for MuuMuse similarly explained that, "[it] is an obvious earworm, and a clear school dance/wedding/bar mitzvah smash in the making, on the level of Black Eyed Peas' ['I Got a Feeling']".

[33] Maura Johnston from the Boston Globe praised Rexha as a "robust-voiced" artist and Guetta's incorporation of the "insistent hook" and "parenthetical title" from "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" into the song.
