analysis of TikTok hits
"If you’re looking to achieve TikTok fame, we’d recommend your song conform to the following standard: have a catchy, danceable, electronic beat; exude a happy, party mood; use simplistic, relatable profanity-free lyrics; have a familiar-sounding melody; and employ repetitive, flowy rhymes that lend themselves to easy memorization and interpretive dance moves. Simple, right? Well, even Steve jobs once said: that “Simple can be harder than complex”. And he didn’t have to compete with the likes of Drake and The Weeknd!"
