It is notable in the film as the song performed by Fire Saga at the final of the Eurovision Song Contest. As a result, it has been one of the more commercially successful songs from the soundtrack.
It has hit the charts in a number of countries, including #59 in the UK and #16 on the Billboard’s Digital Songs Sales chart. A high-profile remix for one of the more notable songs from the film could call further attention to it yet.
