Within a week I had more views on TikTok than I had within my last 5 years of posting. What’s different about TikTok is the real-time zeitgeist of the world. TikTok in the most beautiful way has forced me to be my most authentic self."
'Show Me Love' has now been used in over 4.6m videos, and has had over 15 billion views on TikTok, going on to generate over 550m streams on Spotify (across both versions of the track).
