PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson’s “Stateside” remix has quietly been building momentum for months, but Alysa Liu’s choice to skate her exhibition program to this version of the track at the end of the Olympics turned that slow burn into a genuine breakout moment. The gala placement meant the remix soundtracked one of the most relaxed, joyful performances of the Games, and that emotional association has translated directly into curiosity, Shazam tags, and repeat streams as viewers went hunting for “that song Alysa skated to” and discovered it was the Zara Larsson remix.
In the days following the exhibition, the “Stateside” remix experienced a clear surge on streaming platforms, with noticeable jumps in daily plays and saves as clips of Alysa’s gala run circulated across social media. Short edits on TikTok and Instagram Reels have been especially important: fan cams and broadcast snippets that keep the remix audio intact are pushing users straight from a scroll to a stream, and comments sections full of “what song is this?” are turning into mini recommendation engines that explicitly point people to the PinkPantheress x Zara Larsson version. That feedback loop has helped the remix behave less like a typical album cut and more like a single in its own right, nudging it further up platform charts and discovery playlists.
You can see that impact clearly in the numbers. In the U.S., the “Stateside” remix with Zara Larsson jumped to about 1.8 million official on demand streams on one key post gala tracking day, an 88 percent spike from roughly 952,000 streams on the same weekday the previous week. On Spotify, the remix has climbed to a new peak around the top 10 of the Global Daily chart, pulling in well over 3 million streams in a single day at its high point, after spending recent weeks hovering in the mid 20s globally with roughly 2.4 to 2.7 million daily plays before the Olympic boost. In the UK, “Stateside” has reached the lower end of the Top 10 to 12 region on the Official Singles Chart, logging around 11 weeks in the Top 100 and multiple weeks in the Top 40, alongside a top 15 appearance on the Official Streaming Chart and a multi week run in the Irish Top 40 off a peak around number 15, chart runs that are now being extended as listeners specifically seek out the Zara Larsson remix they heard during Alysa’s skate.
What makes this moment powerful for the “Stateside” remix is that the Olympic bump is adding fuel to a track that already had a chart foundation, rather than creating a one week novelty spike. Before Alysa’s performance, the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson collaboration had already established itself as a solid mid tier hit in key markets, with a steady foothold on national charts and streaming only rankings thanks to PinkPantheress’ core fanbase, Zara’s pop audience, and strong playlist support. The gala exposure is now broadening that audience even further: casual viewers who may never have sought out either artist are arriving through Alysa, then sticking around to explore the rest of PinkPantheress’ and Zara Larsson’s catalogs.
From a long term perspective, that crossover is exactly what artists and labels hope for when a specific remix lands in a big sports moment. The Olympics offer a rare combination of mass reach and emotional storytelling, and Alysa’s easy, celebratory skate gave the PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson “Stateside” remix a narrative: it feels like the soundtrack to a victory lap. That story is now following the remix into algorithmic mixes, figure skating fan edits, and even early radio interest, all of which can extend its lifecycle well beyond the post Games news window. If current trends hold, this version of “Stateside” is poised to be remembered not just as a fan favorite in PinkPantheress’ discography, but as the definitive Alysa Liu Olympics song, the specific remix that defined her latest Olympic chapter for fans who watched it live and for those discovering it clip by clip online.
