It reached number 19 in both Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. Even Rolling Stone named it as one of the top songs of the year. That same year, she debuted her album Know It All with the third single Scars to Your Beautiful being one of the five original songs which peaked on the Billboard charts. This includes those of the Canadian Albums Chart Billboard 200 as well as the Billboard Hot 100.

Cara is well-known for her ability to incorporate the themes of mental health and kindness as well as self-love and kindness into her music. Every song Cara sings comes directly from her struggle with insomnia and mental illness. According to an Reuters Interview, her album is described as tumultuous yet perfected.
