The same producer and studio had previously released the song Barbs (Arabic: بربس, lit. 'Messy') about a year earlier, which had also gone viral and had inspired many people to replicate the dance moves in the video; the Abu Dhabi Public Prosecutor issued arrest warrants for two men who uploaded a video of themselves dancing to the song while dressed in United Arab Emirates military uniforms, saying the men had danced "suggestively" and "in a manner unworthy of the uniform", representing an "affront to the honour of joining the National Service".
