The track, which features 070 Shake, peaked at number one earlier this year after going viral on TikTok and became Raye’s first chart topper.
“We are Number 1 in the UK! It’s the first Number 1 of the year, it’s my first Number 1 in my life. I’m an independent artist, this is sickening!” the singer told Official Charts.
In an emotional response, she added: “This is proof [you should] back yourself, no matter what. Thank you, this is mad. These are happy tears!”
The album will be released independently after her public separation from major label Polydor Records in 2021, when she revealed they had been withholding her debut album for several years.
Raye had previously released tracks including dance hits “Secrets”, “Bed”, “Decline” and “You Don’t Know Me”.
Her winter tour will kick off on 18 November in Paris and finish up in Bristol on 7 December.
