It debuted at No. 93 on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 59.[2] It has since become Thomas's third career No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Top 40 chart as a solo artist, and fourth overall, also extending his top-five singles streak on the format to seven (eight when including his collaborative hit "Smooth").
