As early as November, TikTok users were participating in the "Bim bam toi" challenge by uploading videos of themselves lip-syncing to the song. This went viral in France when Juju Fitcats, a YouTube fitness vlogger with more than a million followers, participated in the challenge in early December.[4][10] In her video, Fitcats cheerfully sings the song while dancing in an airplane just before takeoff.[10] It has garnered millions of views and has been parodied many times.[10]

The song spent a couple of weeks at number one on the Spotify Top 50 Viral chart for France[5] and continued to trend in the top three well into January.[6]

Since February 2020, the official music video for "Bim bam toi" is the most-watched Junior Eurovision-related video on YouTube.[11] The track also appeared as a Fortnite emote in October 2021.
