A song has been stuck in my head for weeks.
Its not Old Town Road or Bad Guy or,shudder, ME!
It hasnt gotten any radio play and nobody performed it at theVMAson Monday night.
I blame TikTok entirely.
Back then, the song reached No.
26 on theBillboardcharts for the year.
This summer, decades later, it sparked a trend on the video platform TikTok.
It seemed as though everywhere I looked somebody was singing it.
People were singing it alone.
People were singing it in groups.
People were teachingotherpeople how to sing it.
TikTok analyzed videos for Vulture based on people using #tonightyoubelongtome.
The hashtag has been used 25 million times.
(The Stella sisters were cast inNashvillefollowing this viral smash.)
In addition to searing itself into my mind, the song sounded familiar.
It has also been used in a number of commercials.
But it turns out not everybody feels that way.
Tonight Id just like to belong to somebody else.
