The song quickly peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart; this made Maddie & Tae the first female duo who topped the chart with their debut single since 2006 and the only second in history.
It also charted at No. 3 and 54 on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 charts, respectively. It achieved the same chart success in Canada, peaking at No. 5 on the Canada Country chart and No. 61 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart.
