Her manager texted her the day after it was released for streaming on Jan. 5 and said he needed to speak with her right away.
“He called and stated, ‘It’s number 2 in the world on iTunes.'”
The former American Idol contestant is still adjusting to the success of her new song.
“There are times when I think to myself, ‘Oh my goodness, this song is going to be the most important thing in my life,'” she explained.
Since then, Fingers Crossed has topped the most popular song lists on several musics streaming services.
Here’s where the song was on various music platforms’ global charts as of Thursday morning:

- Top Songs on Amazon Music (No. 9).
The song debuted at number 69 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart last week and has since climbed 50 spots to number 19 this week.

The concept of the song, according to the 18-year-old, is about when someone says they love you but doesn’t mean it, which she believes many people can relate to.
“I believe everyone has gone through something similar,” she explained. “Everyone has been harmed in some way or another.”
Fingers Crossed is inspired by a real-life experience that Spencer-Smith has had, as she says she writes all of her songs.
“I feel like creating music is almost like journaling your emotions,” she explained. “I always want everything to be true to the story and true to who I am.”
Spencer-Smith is currently in Los Angeles and filming a music video for her new single this weekend.
She also hopes to release a new album and begin touring shortly.
