Reception

In 2023, the song started being used by fans of the Metal Gear video game series in fan-made short-form videos of the series. This lead to an inside joke where fans would gaslight other people into believing that the song was included in the soundtrack for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain due to the similarities in the themes of the song and the video game. ^[4]
