Earlier this year, Apple released an advertisement commercial for Apple Music that featured Taylor Swift singing along to Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle.”

Watch: Here’s a video of Taylor Swift covering Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar, We’re Going Down”

Billboard reports:

The tune's bump was even larger than [Drake's] “Jumpman”: between the week before the ad's April 18 debut and the week after, “The Middle” soared 298 percent in sales and 49 percent in U.S. streams (from 3,000 downloads sold to 12,000; from 614,000 clicks to 916,000) and led to a surprise appearance on Billboard's Hot Rock Songs chart at No. 16.

So, if you want people to pay attention to your song, have Taylor Swift sing along to it.
