Billboard’s global charts also reflect the group’s expanding international reach. The song Gabriela climbed to No. 37 on the Billboard Global 200, and reached No. 28 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart. These positions marked a two-spot and five-spot jump, respectively, compared to the previous week. This also marked the fourth week in a row that Gabriela stayed on both charts. Another track, Gnarly, ranked No. 96 on both global charts, confirming steady overseas interest even three months after release.

Their version came with a new music video, featuring edgy visuals and powerful choreography. Members Daniela, Lara, Manon, Megan, Sophia, and Yoonchae each brought their own flair to the performance. Their dramatic styling and intense stage presence helped breathe new life into the original track.
