And no one could have predicted its staying power.
And then, it carved out a path for itself as one of the most enduring songs, both in streaming and radio play.
Staying at the top for 11 non-consecutive weeks was not only impressive, but it was also a huge achievement for an emerging band.
The slow-burn, however, worked in the song’s favor, as it later became a massive streaming phenomenon, overshadowing much of everything else they released, though other tracks like "Daddy Issues" and "R.I.P. 2 My Youth" have seen chart and streaming success.
14 years after its release, the track has now cemented a spot on Spotify's list of “most streamed songs of all time," landing in the third place behind The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You," according to the data released on April 23, 2026.
Its longevity comes from the song feeling just as relevant in the present as it did upon its release almost a decade ago. “The internet really carried the song and clearly continues to carry it,” guitarist Zach Abels told the outlet in 2023. “I feel like we came out at the right time with social media and became a band that people can bond over on the internet.”
Abel and frontman Jesse Rutherford told the outlet the origin of the story is very nonchalant, as it was a riff Abel used to play all the time that they just turned into a song, noting he “didn’t have any plans for it.”
And paired with melodic and catchy lyrics that tap into a “moody” and “romantic” feeling, it has become a seasonal anthem, making its way onto many fall-themed playlists year after year.
