Music video

The music video was released on 9 December 2015 on Vevo.[1] The tennis-themed video shows five young girls dancing on a tennis court as Gabriela performs in solo. At the end, she is joined on the public seats with the three members of Yall. As of February 2020, the video has received about 50 million views.[3]

The song was used on 28 January 2016 during the French TV entertainment program Touche Pas à Mon Poste (Touche Pas à Mon Prime réalise vos vœux) presented by Cyril Hanouna where Erika Moulet dances completely nude to the tune as a tribute on the birthday of Bertrand Chameroy.[4]

"Hundred Miles" was also used in a Netflix TV show Elite (season 1, episode 2).[5]

The song was featured in the spring 2015 playlist of Hollister Co. stores worldwide.[6]

Plagiarism accusations

The song received heavy comparisons to Major Lazer's song "Lean On", some publications accusing the song of plagiarism.[7] Yall's Joan Sala, responded to the accusations saying: "is cool to get compared to Major Lazer in a song like this. We love Major Lazer! But as a composer, i have to say that only the first chord sounds the same. Then, the rest of the song is totally different."[8]
