Where Is The Love?The Black Eyed Peas
It’s one of their signature songs, released in 2003.
The song carries a peaceful yet powerful message calling for an end to conflicts between nations and people, as well as to racism.
The reason it’s trending on TikTok is that, because of its peaceful vibe, popular TikTokers both in Japan and abroad use it in various situations—like when something happy happens or they’re looking forward to something—posting videos of themselves jumping or dancing to express their joy.
This has become a global trend.

Supalonely (feat. Gus Dapperton)BENEE
Its popularity skyrocketed after the “Sparonari Dance” became a global hit, especially on TikTok.
Among dance challenge videos that often feature easy, laid-back choreography, this one is a genuine dance—when you try it, it’s definitely difficult, but not impossible.
It hit that sweet spot of moderate difficulty.
While it didn’t blow up that much in Japan, there have been many cases where a trend catches on there later.
The song is by Stella Rose Bennett, a pop and indie rock singer-songwriter from Auckland.
She also joined the dance challenge on TikTok herself, which helped fuel the buzz.
