The video was met with mixed reactions, with some people accusing Lara of using auto-tune and critiquing her voice in the YouTube comment section.

Others encouraged her to have her father-in-law adopt it as his campaign song, as multiple artistshave spoken out against him using their songs during his campaign ralliesthis year.
