First Friday: The March Edition
Beyoncé goes country, nostalgic swipes, & happy tears 💙
Ah, February. The month of Valentine’s Day love, Super Bowl madness, and a longing for warm and sunny days as spring inches closer and closer. As we ventured further into 2024, we said hello to catchy new tunes and trends. Here are a few that stood out to us.
Trending Lifestyle Audios
UNWRITTEN X INTOXICATED by CarterWalsh
Natasha Beddingfield’s 2004 hit has had a resurgence, thanks to the recently released rom-com, “Anyone But You,” featuring Sidney Sweeney and Glen Powell. A number of remixes have been created, but this one seems to really be sticking.
Use this audio for timelapses, fit checks, or a brief day-in-the-life vlog.
Did anyone see this coming? Beyoncé is embracing her Texas roots and has officially gone country. 🤠
TEXAS HOLD ‘EM is trending across platforms as users create dances and record live reactions to the tune, as well as lay it over fashion and lifestyle-based content.
Carousels and swipeable content
“If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t tell anyone…”
This trend consists of two slides, the first reads “If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t tell anyone” overtop of a selfie. The second slide reads, “but there would be signs” overtop of a picture of some of your favourite things.
Use this to highlight something niche or relatable that you just LOVE.
Define "you HAD to be there to experience it"
Another trend has arrived that stirs up nostalgia and a love for items and pop culture moments that are niche and but had us in a chokehold at the time of their popularity.
As TikTok users swipe left on this trend and Outro by M83 plays, they’re likely to come across nostalgic candy and snacks, iconic commercials that played between cartoons, and childhood activities like launching through the air after a double bounce on the trampoline.
You can send others on an adventure down memory lane too! Use this trend to reflect and connect with those with similar nostalgia.
Real, relatable and on repeat
This soundbite from The White Lotus is on the rise once again, and being used to poke fun at getting caught doing something that we probably shouldn’t be doing, are embarrassed about doing, when we’re supposed to be doing something else.
Have you wound up on “hope core” TikTok yet? It’s a special corner of the internet that seems to have stemmed from us being tired of consuming content that only hinders our mental health. This genre of content is filled with feel-good moments of parents finding out they’ll soon be grandparents, lost pets being reunited with their owners, and just laughable human moments.
Sure, this is a corner of the web that may cause tears, but wouldn’t you rather that they’re the happy kind anyways?
