Commercial performance

After the first week of release it entered the German charts at number 34, which was disappointing to many fans as they expected it to enter higher due to the single being released during the tour. It was however expected to climb once the world ice hockey championships start (7 May), as it was the official song of that tournament, but that did not happen. The single also entered the Austrian charts at number 58 after the first week of release.
