‘To The Bone’ currently has over 53million streams on Spotify. It broke the record previously held by ‘Lathi’, a collaboration between Indonesian EDM trio Weird Genius and singer Sarah Fajira. The latter lasted six weeks on the chart, debuting in March 2020.
Both songs owe their popularity in part to virality on TikTok. ‘To The Bone’ in particular recently inspired a wave of covers, including a take by celebrity ex-footballer Bambang Pamungkas. ByDaniel Peters

This song is about being so deeply in love with someone—someone they can’t have—and still having overflowing feelings. This song hits home for someone who has had a crush for almost four years. Liking someone is great, but when you reach the point where you want them by your side and you know it cannot happen, it’s sad. You know that you guys will just be friends; that’s all. It’s kind of frustrating knowing you don’t have a chance with that person, but you still like them.
