This version of the song was positively noticed by musicians like Chloe Moriondo, Dodie, Rina Sawayama, and Tori Kelly, and received airplay on BBC Radio 1. A full version of the song, released April 21 by Atlantic Records, marked both Barton and Corook's first appearance on the Billboard charts.

That same month, Barton opened for Lizzy McAlpine on her The End of the Movie tour. During an April 25 tour stop at Brooklyn Steel, Barton performed "If I Were a Fish", bringing Corook onstage to perform the song. It was also announced that Barton would support Corook for a pair of shows in Los Angeles and Brooklyn in June.

Personal life

 * They adopted a dog, Cubby, in 2021.
 * based in Nashville
 * identifies as queer
 * “I am writing about my life and my life happens to look queer, but I'm not necessarily trying to make a statement in most of my music. I find that the way that I can best make a statement is just to be honest without thinking about what I'm saying.”
 * “In some spaces, I feel like I'm not queer enough — so straight passing that sometimes it feels like I don't fit in. I have found that the community in Nashville feels particularly inviting to queer people of all stages of queerness and self expression,” says Barton. “I have my queer friends to thank for helping me lighten up and love myself — obviously through their music, but mostly just through their company.”
