Legacy

[edit]

In 2010, the original version of the song was featured in the fourteenth episode of the tenth season of Degrassi, well before the Kungs version rose to fame.[112]

This song has been featured in Apple ads in general and the Shot on iPhone challenge which a meme is based on.[113]

In 2016, British online department store Littlewoods included the song in a TV advertising campaign.[114] The song was featured in a 2017 commercial for Cricket Wireless in association with Samsung,[115] and later used as the theme music for the U.S. version of Big Star's Little Star. The song has also been adopted by football fans and chants have been inspired by the song's rhythm, such as Liverpool's Georginio Wijnaldum, Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette, former Manchester City F.C.'s Fernandinho, Plymouth Argyle's Morgan Whittaker ,Reading's Andy Yiadom, Inverness Caledonian Thistle's Coll Donaldson, Oxford United's Cameron Brannagan and King's Lynn Town's Adam Marriott. FC Porto goals in Estádio do Dragão are celebrated with the song's chorus in the background. It is also the goal celebration song for Leicester City.

In 2021, this song was chosen by fans of the Philadelphia Flyers as their new goal song, but was dropped a year later.

The Republic of Ireland used it as their goal song during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.
