It was a perfect reminder that TikTok is shaping how music moves across borders.

TikTok users also embraced softer, emotional songs. Chella’s My Darling and No Turning Back II by Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor found space among party anthems, proving that relatable lyrics can go just as viral as heavy beats.
