“Sure Thing” — Miguel (2010)

This romantic, soulful song has seen a resurgence in popularity since becoming a trending TikTok sound. The trend sees users lip-syncing to its verses (“If you be the cash, I’ll be the rubber band / You be the match, I will be a fuse“) and performing simple hand gestures along with the lyrics.

“Little Bit More” — Suriel Hess (2022)

“Lay Up” — Future (2015)

TikTokers love nothing more than a good dance trend, and Future’s 2015 song has provided the perfect beat for their latest choreography craze. Users are showing off their slinky hip movements to this punchy hip-hop banger from the artist’s Beast Mode album, with some employing their friends as perfectly synchronized backup dancers.

Listen to non-stop hip-hop on Hip Hop Nation (Ch. 44).

“Everybody Wants to Rule the World” — Tears for Fears (1985)

“Nothing ever lasts forever,” say Tears for Fears, but this song is still going strong 38 years after its initial release. This iconic lamentation of human nature has captured the hearts (and ears) of audiences for generations. And now TikTokers are using the song to post pictures of themselves before and after lockdown, in order to show off their glow-ups. The trend has attracted people who found their identity during the isolation period, with the comment sections of these videos full of encouragement toward the user.

“Popular (From Wicked Original Broadway Cast Recording)” — Kristin Chenoweth

Going viral on TikTok can make you feel pretty cool, and users have been sharing their viral success stories using the song “Popular” from the musical Wicked. They lip-sync along to the line, “You will be popular,” with text overlayed that tells the story of their hit video. The trend really picked up when Kristin Chenoweth, who originated the role of Glinda on Broadway, shared her own video with the sound!
