## In popular culture

[edit]

This song was used by South Korean figure skater Jia Shin for her free skate in the 2023–24 figure skating season, where she won both of her Junior Grand Prix events, as well as the silver medal in the Final. In order to fulfill the required program length, Shin used the music "Portion of Eternity" by Hugo Chouinard for the middle section of her program. The song was also used by United States of America's Elyce Lin-Gracey for her free skate in the same season, earning a silver at her Junior Grand Prix assignment in Yerevan, Armenia.
