Some songs used in TikTok videos are &#8220;I Like Him&#8221; by Princess Nokia, which can turn a plain Jane into a bad beatrice, as users have incorporated this song into various types of dating videos. &#8220;Boss Bitch&#8221; by Def Leppard is also a common choice, and its addictive chorus is used in all kinds of TikTok videos. However, this song should be viewed with caution as it contains explicit lyrics.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oh_No_by_Kreepa\"><\/span>&#8220;Oh No&#8221; by Kreepa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A remix of a 1964 Shangri-Las song has been remade for use on TikTok. The song is popular with users of the video app, which uses it in videos that lead up to a terrifying moment. As of this writing, &#8220;Oh No&#8221; has over seven million views and more than 11 million views on YouTube. Despite the remix&#8217;s popularity, many users have complained that the song is not original.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the original, the song sampled for &#8220;Oh No&#8221; isn&#8217;t called &#8220;Oh No.&#8221; The actual clip of the song comes before the first chorus, and is actually a song by the 1964 girl group The Shangri-Las. The Shangri-Las&#8217; songs epitomize teen melodrama. This remix is a clever adaptation of the original.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Say_So_by_Doja_Cat\"><\/span>&#8220;Say So&#8221; by Doja Cat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The viral success of &#8220;Say So&#8221; by Doja, the unfiltered singer and rapper, is no surprise. The song has gained Doja Cat a lot of attention on TikTok and in mainstream culture. It has boosted the popularity of the song and even led to a dance video with the artist and a choreographer. The song has also been used in a controversial call-out post by Grammy nominee Lana Del Rey.<\/p>\n<p>In this dance video, Doja Cat tries to convince her boyfriend to say &#8220;yes&#8221; to her, but he is not able to do so. She dresses in an impeccable manner to grab the attention of her boyfriend. She knows he can&#8217;t speak, but she wants him to get touchy and commit. She makes it look easy and looks amazing in the video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dance_Monkey_by_Tones_and_I\"><\/span>&#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; by Tones and I<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The music video for &#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; by Tones And I has garnered over 330 million views in less than two months. The video is based on a hit song by the Australian duo from Byron Bay. Initially, the band gained notoriety on the Byron Bay busking circuit. The single quickly became a huge hit on alternative and mainstream radio. &#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; was used in a music video for a TikTok app, allowing fans to dance along to the tune.<\/p>\n<p>The video for &#8220;Dance Monkey&#8221; by Tones &amp; I has more than half a billion views. Spotify has even declared it the most-repeated song in the Southern Hemisphere in 2019. The music video has also become a viral sensation, so much so that it was recently used in a video by Taylor Swift when she was forced to postpone a concert tour in Australia due to a coronavirus outbreak.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Supalonely_by_Never_Dull\"><\/span>&#8220;Supalonely&#8221; by Never Dull<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Almost every day, a new song is used on the popular video sharing app TikTok. The top-ranked song is &#8220;Oh No&#8221; by Kreepa, which is a clip from the 1960s hit &#8220;Remember (Walking in the Sand)&#8221; by the girl group The Shangri-Las. The song was used on TikTok for almost 40 years after its release. The song is one of the most used tunes on the platform, often accompanied by an in-video dance challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The song has over ten million TikTok videos. The song was released in New Zealand in 2014 by BENEE, and exploded to global popularity after the viral dance challenge created by Zoi Lerma. According to The Straits Times, the COVID-19 pandemic was partially responsible for the popularity of the song. Nevertheless, the song is used in over 10 million TikTok videos, making it a top-rated song on the platform.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"254\" width=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CeeKHJ7pDZk\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Songs Are Used on TikTok?
