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!

All The Things She Saidt.A.T.u.

I think many of you have heard “All the Things She Said.” The song was released in 2000 by the Russian music duo t.A.T.u.

Not only did it spark a social phenomenon in Japan, it also became a huge hit worldwide.

Apparently, there’s a rumor that if you use this song in a TikTok video, your love will come true, and it’s been trending.

In fact, there are many videos reporting that their love actually did come true.

I can’t say whether it’s true or not, but if you’re curious, give it a try.

Måneskin, the Italian band that’s been making waves with live shows and TV appearances in Japan, has released a string of hit songs.

The one especially blowing up on TikTok is “Beggin’.” In fact, this track is a cover of a song with the same title released in 1967 by the rock band The Four Seasons, and its bluesy vibe is striking.

I hope you’ll listen to both versions and compare them, paying attention to the kind of arrangement Måneskin has added.
