In 2015, after pairing up with electronic producer Matstubs on a remix of Jetta's cover, the song received further significant attention after being posted to the Trap Nation YouTube channel. It then hit gold, generating over 200 million plays on YouTube, and 120 million on Spotify, becoming her most listened to song. In 2017, L'Orchestra Cinématique released the remix cover of the song on the trailer for Star Trek: Discovery.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhEK-P-h5pI|title=Star Trek: Discovery Trailer Music [Netflix Original] : I'd Love To Change The World|date=24 July 2017 |publisher=YouTube|accessdate=20 July 2020}}
