It peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[7] On March 22, 2018, Bazzi announced the release date for his debut album as April 12. This came after the release of three more singles, "Why?," "Gone," and "Honest."[8][9] On August 2, 2018, he released a remix of "Beautiful" featuring Cuban-American singer Camila Cabello.
