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!

Playing on the idea of “first class” as in the title, he raps about the rise of his career.

Beyond the lyrics, the flow and beat are excellent, so be sure to pay attention to those as well.
