Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

TikTok, the popular social media platform that’s becoming even bigger than YouTube.

I think many people in their teens and twenties use it.

When it comes to TikTok, the memorable content is those creations that combine various background music with unique visuals.

However, even if you find a BGM you like, there are times when you don’t know what the song is.

For those people, we’ve selected Western songs that became hits on TikTok.

We’ve picked a wide range—from tracks that trended in the early days to songs that are currently booming!

Olivia Rodrigo, who debuted as a singer in her teens and has left behind numerous classic songs.

Her third single is “good 4 u.” At first glance, it’s a fun, high-energy track, but the lyrics are packed with sarcasm aimed at her ex-boyfriend.

That contrast is what makes it so interesting.

The song is also known for being nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video.

The video, which brilliantly recreates the song’s world, is another big draw—be sure to check it out.

Not only on TikTok, but also on other social media like YouTube, the song “Heat Waves” has gone viral.

The lyrics prompt you to reflect on what life is all about.
