Nearly every week, there is a new TikTok sound that has taken the app by storm. Whether it’s from a popular interview, a comedy special, or a song, Tik Tok sounds come and go, but this most recent sound has taken over the app. What Tik Tok sound could I be talking about? Well, if you guessed Drake’s song “Girls Want Girls” from his latest album, Certified Lover Boy, then you are correct!
“Girls Want Girls” has made its rounds on TikTok since the rapper dropped the album on September 3rd, but the most popular part of the song has nothing to do with the title. In the chorus, there is a line where Drake says, “I might come, I might go, I don’t know”. And in those 5 seconds, every TikTok user is bringing out their best captions and most creative ways to use the sound. One TikTok user put the caption, “When my favorite cousin isn’t coming to the family function” and lip-synced over the sound with some hilarious facial expressions.

Another user took an astrological approach and called out all the Capricorns. The user’s caption read “when you ask a Capricorn to hang out,” followed by lip-syncing with a confused expression on her face. This one gained 32,000 likes, and there were a lot of angry Capricorns in the comments…yikes!
This next user took a different and more creative approach to the sound. Instead of lip-syncing, the video showed a guy traveling to an AutoZone store and buying a small black can of Meguiars car air freshener. He proceeded to take the can out of the box and let the can sit in his car for 15 minutes while the air freshener…aired out. It sounds weird, but it works because the video racked up 1.1 million likes and 3 million views.

The single just became popular and has already gained over 22.5 thousand videos and counting, but the single is not just popular on TikTok. On Spotify, it broke the record for the biggest debut for a song in Spotify history, and since it was released, it has already broken Billboard records as well! On the exact day of the release, the album broke the Spotify record for most streams in a day for an album with over 155 million streams!
Drake also became the first artist in history to simultaneously take up the top 5 spots on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot 200. “Way 2 Sexy” came in at number 1, with “Girls Want Girls” at number 2, “Fair Trade” at number 3, “Champagne Poetry” at 4, and “Knife Talk” rounding off the top 5.
It is safe to say that this song has brought some of the funniest and most relatable captions we have ever seen. Although TikTok sounds move quickly, and it will only be a matter of time before this sound is no longer used, it is time to appreciate the masterpiece Certified Lover Boy.
