Hozier expressed his overwhelming gratitude in a video message, stating, ‘I’ve been both thrilled and taken massively by surprise by such a staggering reaction. It means the world that you’re enjoying this song so much. Thank you all so much.’
The success of ‘Too Sweet’ has been remarkable, reaching number one in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the UK and Ireland for a second week. Hozier’s heartfelt appreciation for the global support is evident in his social media post, where he acknowledged the love for his song, saying, ‘A huge thank you for all the incredible support from around the world.’
The song is featured on Hozier’s EP ‘Unheard,’ a surprise release in March. The EP comprises four previously unreleased tracks recorded during the sessions for his latest album, ‘Unreal Unearth.’
Hozier previously shared his perspective on his success, particularly the immense popularity of his hit ‘Take Me To Church,’ which has garnered over 2 billion Spotify streams. He emphasized the importance of detaching from numerical metrics, focusing instead on the pride he takes in his work and the impact it has had.
Recently, Hozier commented on a ‘cover’ of ‘Take Me To Church’ by Homer Simpson, describing it as ‘fun’ while acknowledging the complex questions AI poses for the future of music.
Hozier’s accomplishment marks a significant moment for Irish music, solidifying his status as a global sensation and an inspiration to aspiring artists.
