It’s like the end of a period of my life.&quot;</p><p>When asked how he felt about the song going viral on TikTok, he replied: &quot;Yeah, I’m not on TikTok, so my friend and longtime collaborator Adam Thein let me know that something was going on. There’s a little Spotify recap page for the artists, and you can see sort of a bump and then it just kept on bumping, I guess. It was kind of crazy.&quot;</p><p>Joe was also asked about his reaction to the song landing a spot on the Billboard Hot 100.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/tv/CjVcNA1gtce/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A1427237.6000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A231723%2C%22le%22%3A232113%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="510" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>&quot;It’s very weird, honestly. It’s not anything that’s really been on my radar at all, so to be included now in that way is pretty cool and a little validating. But it’s not really going to change the way I work. I think I’ll probably just continue to make the stuff I want to keep making,&quot; he said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/7/10/fresh-scoops/duffer-brothers-to-create-a-spin-off-series-based-201160"><strong>READ: Duffer Brothers to create a spin-off series based on ‘Stranger Things’</strong></a></div><p>In the same interview, Joe shared that he is set to release new music soon.</p><p>&quot;Yeah, new music on the way. Coming up hot. Trying to finish that out and then obviously working on <em>&#x27;Stranger Things&#x27;</em> still — that’s always a thing that I’m doing,&quot; he remarked.</p>
