(Please move this in the wrong place) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRURN5F4EBEThis song is #1 on Itunes, Apple Music and has been streamed over a million times on Spotify in 8 hours. She is a TikTok star with over 2.5 million followers but she was also on American Idol in 2020 (the pandemic season.) Shes currently unsigned but i expect that to change REAL soon. On another note, ALOTA LOT of American Idol alumni are getting record deals and having some success in many different formats. Something is clicking with that show where a lot of contestants from previous seasons are all of sudden starting to show up in a big way. Even artists that got airtime but didn't really go that far (eg. Lucky Daye, John K, Gabby Barrett, Jax, Benson Boone and so many others)

The way this is blowing up is reminding me of Drivers License (a smaller scale but just the similar timeframe and out of the blue-ish of it all!)

Maybe I'm getting older or something ,but i really don't get why this is blowing up (atp tik tok should have it's own label a song blow up on there boom they're on billboard). drivers license i understood but Fingers Crossed....It's very basic.

Debuted at 90 in the UK already. On TTH too, even though sheβs indie. Good for her.
Demand for this has been building for months, in retrospect itβs not a huge surprise. Sheβs been teasing it since November, and one teaser was used in over 100k TikToks.

Sonically, this song reminds me a lot of Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi, especially the guitar line.

It is not that bad of a song but Olivia Rodrigo's Driver's License was better than this. But it is exactly the type of pop that has been getting popular in recent years on the charts so I can see why it is getting popular although.

^ oh ok that makes sense. whenever something bizarre is happening chart-wise recently, 9 times out of 10 itβs Tiktok Iβll be like βwtf is this song why is it gaining Iβve never heard of itβ (βabcdefuβ for example) and then Iβll look it up on tiktok and thereβll be 70k videos under the sound. How did Jessie Murph, Catie Turner, Bella Poarch, Clinton Kane or Gayle suddenly become relevant? Tiktok. Why is a Paloma Faith single from 2014 or a random 70s hit charting on Spotify? tiktok. Why did Ryn Weaver have the biggest international hit of her career 6 years after it dropped with 0 promo? Why is one of the biggest viral hits of 2020 by the fucking Backyardigans?!? etc etc etc

Actually glad she is going for it independent rather than with a major label. Iβm telling ya, with tiktok, Spotify and a good team, you donβt really need major labels taking a cut out of your earnings. These distribution and radio promotion companies are offering the services record labels get for theirs artists so now their skipping the labels and partnering with them independently or their own labels. The landscape is really changing and major labels are definitely on the losing side and Iβm with it!

I was instantly hooked after the first listen, Personally I'm rooting for this song to become a huge Pop hit especially since Lauren totally deserves to have that kind of success! The relatable heartbreak that she expressed in these lyrics which of course draws a direct similarity to Olivia Rodrigo's songs on Sour are nothing short of powerful. This is one of those instances where the viral popularity of a song like this one on TikTok actually makes sense, And they were absolutely able to get it right this time!

I love this! Subject matter comparisons to "Drivers License" aside, I feel it's very lyrically similar to Olivia's album. I feel like this is going to be a huge hit!

I support it because I always love seeing new artists blow up even if Iβm meh about them (see: Gayle, SHAED) and itβs cute song, but I think Iβm officially done w lyrics making references about writing songs for the time being. Idk, but this, DL, and Sadie Jeanβs βWYD Now?β are burning me out, and Iβm a sad bitch! I should be eating this shit up!

I mean, good for her, but this is a hard pass for me. It's so bland. The musical equivalent of plain white bread. I don't dislike it, just... this song exists.
