The song itself, written by Bonnie and Taylor Sims with Robbie Nevil, became a cultural phenomenon on platforms like TikTok and Spotify, reaching over 400 million streams.
Its inclusion in the 2020 film 365 Days acted as a major catalyst for dancers like Tubazzi to create visual interpretations that resonated with the film's intense, often dark, emotional themes.
The routine is often characterized as a heels or chair-style dance, a popular medium for "I See Red" due to its seductive yet aggressive undertones. Tubazzi noted that the song was "not easy to interpret," requiring a balance of fluid movement and sharp, aggressive punctuations to match the heavy guitar riffs and Bonnie Sims' powerful vocals.
