Following a quiet build, “We Hug Now” has fueled Sydney’s reintroduction this year. Initially it overtook TikTok, inspiring 400K “creates” and generating 1.3 billion cumulative views. Amassing nearly 40 millions streams, the song landed in the Top three of the Spotify US and Global Viral 50 Charts, the Top 15 of the Shazam US Top Songs Chart, Top 30 of the Apple US Songs Chart, and Top 20 of the Genius Overall Chart.
Plus, the song catapulted to No.7 on the Billboard Bubbling Under 100 Chart as she rose to No.22 on the Emerging Artists Chart. Additionally, she has now accrued over four million monthly listeners on Spotify and just made her debut on Spotify’s Top Songs Chart in the U.S..
Simultaneously, the singer and songwriter has garnered enthusiastic critical acclaim. Billboard noted, “The post-relationship song starts as a gentle, echoing ballad, à la Rose’s musical hero Phoebe Bridgers—but it’s the climax, after a switch to a more cathartic mid-tempo singalong, that has taken off on TikTok, with countless users connecting with the lyrics.”
