These aren’t in a specific order on favorites and such. Just listing them randomly but my favorite? It would have to be “7 years (remix)”. Take a listen and figure out yours!
- “Moral of the Story”- Ashe
-
Rising songwriter Ashe shows more than you see on the outside in her single: “Moral of the Story”. After getting married in college, not knowing whether it was actually love or if they just fell out of it, the 24-year-old went through a messy divorce.
“Some mistakes get made
That’s alright, that’s okay
You can think that you’re in love when you’re really just in pain
In the end, it’s better for me that’s the moral of the story.”
This song has a lot of emotion and talks about learning from mistakes in life. Amazing song and storyline.
- “Drivers License”- Olivia Rodrigo
-
Many know her as Gabriella from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series but I found this young rising artist on TikTok sharing some very personal words about her broken heart. Some speculate it is about her love triangle and some direct quotes coincide with the theory.
“You’re probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She’s so much older than me
She’s everything I’m insecure about”
Over 32 million views on TikTok of her original video have led it to be on the top charts today. Again, 10/10 great song.
- “7 years (remix)”- Sik World
-
When you first hear this song the oh-so-familiar soundtrack from “7 years” playing is prominent but then Sik World added his own lyrics and it is just an amazing work of art.
“Lately, I feel so alone
Don’t even know why I have a phone
Nobody hits me up and I’m stuck, never had someone to call my own.”
If you’ve ever felt alone the lyrics are just spot on to how you feel or what goes through your mind. This song speaks to me on a personal level. This is by far the best TikTok find for me.
- “Why You Gotta Be Like That”- HAVEN
-
HAVEN talks about how after a breakup she is fine in the relationship but her partner was not.
“Can’t we just be mature ‘bout this
Can’t you just be friends with my friends
Putting up all of these fences
Why you gotta be like that?”
This is so relatable because most of the time exes usually don’t talk and the history made is basically thrown away. Very sad when the closest person to you isn’t there as a friend anymore either so their mom, siblings, etc that you felt like was yours disappears a well.
Overall, these are amazing artists and songs. I think TikTok has been an amazing platform for small artists to get their music out there and big which is amazing.
