Following the duo's expansion to a six-piece band, the track was re-released under the title "Uhaw (Tayong Lahat)", transforming the song into a blues rock track changing sonically mid-song. The version became the band's mainstream breakthrough, breaking the record in Spotify Philippines for the biggest single-day streams for an OPM song and charting at number one in Billboard Philippines Songs for ten consecutive weeks.
The track has become Dilaw's signature song, being performed multiple times in live performances, including Wish 107.5 and Showtime Online Ü. The band also performed the song with British rock band Coldplay during the latter's concert at the Philippine Arena on January 20, 2024.
