"Connection" sold 32,000 digital copies in its first week and debuted on the Billboard Digital Songs Sales chart at number 23. The song was also streamed for over 10.8 million times and peaked at number twenty-one on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.[citation needed]
The official music video of the song was released on August 28, 2018, through Vevo. As of October 1, 2022, the video has achieved over 24 million views.[2]
The video's setting is within the Oculus New York's World Trade Center station, with Ryan Tedder wandering around looking for a 'connection' to end his loneliness.[3] Various extras dressed in business attire are shown staring at the palms of their hands (like a phone screen) as an interpretive dancer performs. A brief cutscene shows him driving a Jeep Cherokee through Manhattan.
A majority of the video is shot in black and white except for the last chorus, where the whole band is performing and the station is illuminated by purple lightning. The video was directed by Joel Pront.[4]
"Connection" appeared in Jeep's "2018 Summer of Jeep: Sold Out" commercial. The appearance led the song to top the Billboard Top Commercial Songs chart in July 2018.[5]
It is part of the R.B.I. Baseball 19 soundtrack.[citation needed]
It also appears in the trailer and the opening scene for the 2019 movie Jexi.[citation needed]
