Virality

"If We Being Real" became viral on the social media platform TikTok. A slowed-down version of the song, described by Billboard as "ominous", saw widespread use as the background track in edits (video montages) of various real people and fictional characters, including King Baldwin IV from the film Kingdom of Heaven, Rafe Cameron from the Netflix series Outer Banks, and the basketball player Anthony Edwards. This virality contributed to an increase in streams in the United States: Between March 29 and April 4, 2024, the song received 1.92 million streams, whereas from April 26 to May 2 it exceeded 6 million.[2]
