Background

In a press release, Gou stated: "There's a feeling we all know but is hard to describe, that feeling of love, warmth and excitement when you're surrounded by friends and loved ones and the energy speaks for itself. It's difficult to put into words but to me it goes 'nanana!'"^[3]

Breakout success

The hit went viral on social media when a clip of festival-goers at the Lost Nomads festival outside of Marrakesh (where Gou performed) was posted to the platform, starting a chain of events, giving the artist her mainstream breakthrough hit single. She did not have an account on TikTok at the time and was alerted to the viral clip by her friends.^[5]

Critical reception

Henry Ivry of Resident Advisor called it "full-on Café del Mar worship" with "vintage rave chords elbow[ing] in over chunky, swung drums and a forlorn synth that has shades of Eurodance". Although he felt that "the lyrics are a bit silly, they're catchy" and "there is nothing, in short, subtle about the track, but who cares—this is dance pop down to a science".^[1]

Commercial performance

The song debuted at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart dated 23 June 2023,^[6] making it Gou's first UK chart entry.^[7] A week later the single entered the UK top 10.^[8]
