Simple Plan’s debut single ‘I’m Just A Kid’ certified Platinum in the U.S.

Given the recent resurgence of Simple Plan’s song ‘I’m Just A Kid’ due to an unprecedented viral success thanks to the “I’m Just A Kid” challenge on TikTok, the band’s debut single has now been certified platinum in the United States. The certification has been awarded to the song on May 26th 2020, 18 years after its original release.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awards singles the Platinum certification when they hit 1 million units sold. Each permanent digital download counts as 1 unit and 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams count as 1 unit. It is undeniable that the recent new-founded success of the song on social media spiked the streams of the song on various platforms, including YouTube or Spotify.

With its new Platinum status, I’m Just A Kid is the highest certified single by Simple Plan in the United States.

Simple Plan recently joined TikTok on their own and continue spreading the “I’m Just A Kid challenge” together even despite social distancing. Check out their fantastic recent green screen effort:

Dave Franco quotes Simple Plan’s ‘I’d Do Anything’ in a new Netflix movie

Ever since 2002, Simple Plan’s first single from their debut album – the song ‘I’d Do Anything’ has been deeply engraved in the minds of millions of people and still continues to be one of Simple Plan’s most recognizable tunes.

Big thanks to our very observative reader Yva we have now found out that a reference to this song has been made in a newly released Netflix film, co-produced by Channing Tatum, called 6 Balloons, which follows the struggles of Katie (Abbi Jacobson), who’s brother Seth (Dave Franco) is addicted to heroin.

Towards the movie’s end, around its 64th minute, the two siblings get into a car, where Dave Franco’s character tries to remember the words to the song ‘I’d Do Anything’ by Simple Plan, while his sister tries to make him stop and listen to her instead.

Check out the full conversation featuring the song’s lyrics below:

Katie: When I’m with you, all I see is you.
Seth: … What song is that?
Seth: *sings* I close my eyes…
Katie: Stop it.
Seth: *continues singing* And all I see is you..
Katie: Stop!
Seth: *continues singing* I close my eyes…
Katie: Stop it. Jesus, stop!
Seth: *continues singing* I try to sleep, I can’t forget you…

Christmas Every Day

I wish it was Christmas
Christmas every day
We could just let it snow forever
And live on holiday

There would be presents every morning
Under every tree
Oh, Santa Claus if I could have my way
I wish it was Christmas every day

School is out
No work today
So in my PJs I will stay
Staring at this winter wonderland

Reindeer slippers on my feet
Christmas vacation on TV
I feel like I am just a kid again

I can see the Christmas lights appear
Welcome to the best time of the year

I wish it was Christmas
Christmas every day
We could just let it snow forever
And live on holiday

There would be present every morning
Under every tree
Oh, Santa Claus if I could have my way
I wish it was Christmas every day

Kissing under the mistletoe
52 weeks in a row
Now you’ve got me shouting out with glee
No more wars and no more fights
Peace on Earth comes every night
What a wonderful world this could be

I can see the Christmas lights appear
Welcome to the best time of the year

I wish it was Christmas
Christmas every day
We could just let it snow forever
And live on holiday

There would be presents every morning
Under every tree
Oh, Santa Claus if I could have my way
I wish it was Christmas every day
Christmas every day

I wish it was Christmas
Christmas every day
We could just let it snow forever
And live on holiday

There would be presents every morning
Under every tree
Oh, Santa Claus if I could have my way
I wish it was Christmas
I wish it was Christmas
I wish it was Christmas every day
