It gained attention in 2016 for the band name's similarity to the meme Pepe the Frog, as well as the single's label art also featuring a drawing of a cartoon frog. The label art belongs to Magic Sound, and has been used in multiple songs produced by them, including "Babababo" by Bibox. It has since been used as the anthem for the fictional country of Kekistan. Ceramicola, who had since abandoned his career in the music industry, felt the newfound worldwide audience the song received online to be unexpected.
