It was his first song to chart on the Billboard charts, garnering him worldwide attention and invitations to appear on TV shows. He was also named the MTV Push Artist for October 2022. Following the song's release, MTV UK asked Lawson to perform the song, which they posted onto YouTube. He was also recognized by MTV Italia which he performed for as well.
"Golden Hour" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 71 and peaked at number 10. It also reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
On November 17, 2022, he announced his first tour, taking in New York, Los Angeles and other nationwide cities.
