action movies which would appeal to the male gender, but the lyrics do not
have any meaning that may attract a male audience more than a female one

This chart shows that the song is most popular in the UK due to coming 5th in the
UK indie chart (2013). This would be due to the song being English and being mainly
prompted through English media such as the games and films stated. The artist
however is french himself which may have influenced a large french audience
despite any of his songs actually being in French but English instead.
