In 2022, Darin performed the song on Så mycket bättre and released the song shortly after. In a review of his performance ScandiPop said "[Darin] delivered a turbo-charged synthpop cover of Johnossi's 'What's the Point'. A knock-out interpretation of the song, which is quite likely to go down as one of the all time best for both Darin and the show."[2] Culture Fix said "[Darin delivered] a barnstorming version of Johnossi's What’s The Point. It is fabulous high energy banger that Darin delivers with an impressive gusto with the track shining as a comfortable addition to his every expanding back catalogue."[3]

Darin's version peaked at number 8 on the Swedish charts. It was certified gold in Sweden in February 2023.[4]
