Critic reviews were nice and all but, in reality, did people really even give music reviews the time of day?

Most individuals, would rather listen to a song and decide for themselves if they liked or disliked it.

And for [Paradox], because it was a unique, alternative rock song that touched on philosophical themes everyone could relate with, it was instant like for most people.

Added to the fact that the tune itself was ingenious to say the least, especially with its attention-grabbing and hauntingly mesmerizing piano riff that was present throughout the entirety of the song, people were listening to it non-stop.

Considering Kyle released [Paradox] at exactly midnight, seeing the song skyrocket to No. 1 on the charts just a few hours later with over 6.7M stream counts, was something akin to magic in his opinion.

Sure, due to the hype from his fans, music enthusiasts and critics, the song was bound to be successful but, that wasn't the only reason.

The renegotiation between Oliver and DiscoTune to 4% royalties taken, one in which the music distribution firm, along with GrooveBox were heavily promoting the song, also allowed for the song to also debut on a very high No. 10 on the 'Buzzing 100' charts. 

That said, considering Kyle himself, knew just how much work and effort he had put into perfecting the song, along with remembering Oliver's advice to him, he was much less floored when compared to his disbelief from the success of his previous songs.

Yet, the young man was still extremely grateful for the success of his new song.

Still, Kyle didn't really have time to fixate on the overwhelming success of the song as something else was seriously occupying his time.
