A first remix featuring Jamaican rappers Shenseea and Skillibeng was released on February 21, 2025.[2][3] The second remix featuring Martinican rappers Kalash and Maureen was released on March 14, 2025. A third remix featuring Trinidadian TikToker and singer Gladdest was released on May 30, 2025, and it called "Shake It to the Max (Done with Ya Ex)".

The song became Moliy's highest-charting single in numerous countries worldwide including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, New Zealand and Switzerland. The third remix went viral as well on video-sharing app TikTok following a popular dance challenge before it was officially released, as Gladdest released her own freestyle version on YouTube on March 22, 2025 and it sparked a viral TikTok dance challenge, with over 2.5 million user-generated videos. The track has also amassed 4.5 million views on YouTube.[4]
