"On & On" is a song by Estonian trio Cartoon and former member Jéja, featuring Estonian singer and songwriter Daniel Levi, released through NCS on July 9, 2015.[1] It is certified Silver in the United Kingdom and Gold in the United States.

Background

[edit]

Cartoon at the time was a relatively small band which was formed between Joosep Järvesaar (known for being the lead singer of the band 'Bedwetters'), Hugo Martin Maasikas and Ago Teppand. On & On was their second song released on the NCS label, and quickly saw commercial success worldwide, with the song soon surpassing more than 100 million views on NCS's YouTube Channel. [2][3] Four years after the release of the song, they released a Spanish version of the song, titled 'Más Y Más'.[4]

A documentary video of the song was produced and posted on the NCS channel, and at its premiere, approximately 2,500 fans worldwide tuned in.[3]

Commercial performance

[edit]

The song received 90 million views in its first two years, with the number now increasing to over 500 million views on NoCopyrightSounds' YouTube channel as of 2024,[5] and reached #1 on the Estonian airplay chart in its 39th week.[citation needed] The song was found to have been used as background music in more than 4.8 million videos. Cartoon further claimed that in all these and other media combined, the song had been heard about 7.2 billion times, or nearly the entire population of the world.[3]
