There are millions of regular TikTokers who have made videos based on Jawsh, a song with a very distinct island vibe. Written by a high school student from Auckland, Jawsh references the calling code for Samoa, and has even inspired a number of &#8220;Culture Dance&#8221; videos.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Surf_Curse\"><\/span>Surf Curse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While this video is not particularly groundbreaking, it is certainly worth watching. Originally a late addition to Coachella&#8217;s line-up in 2016, the Polynesian band is now heading back to the festival to play on April 17 and 24. The song was first released on Spotify in 2021 and has since racked up over 432 million streams. Surf Curse is certainly no stranger to unconventional success, as its members have been working hard to make it to this point.<\/p>\n<p>The first song on TikTok is a remix of the popular Jason Derulo track &#8220;Savage Love.&#8221; Jawsh 685, a native of South Auckland, New Zealand, initially thought that the video app was a &#8220;cringe&#8221; app for posting dance videos. Now, it seems that he was right. The remix was so catchy that it has surpassed all expectations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Joy_Again\"><\/span>Joy Again<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In 2016, Polynesian band Joy Again released their first song &#8220;Looking Out For You.&#8221; It was an earworm with a banjo melody, but went under the radar until it became a viral hit on TikTok. The song&#8217;s success on the video-sharing website launched the band into the spotlight. To celebrate the song&#8217;s resurgence on TikTok, Joy Again chatted with the platform&#8217;s creators.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charli_XCX\"><\/span>Charli XCX<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The internet is loving Charli XCX&#8217;s latest song, &#8216;Polynesian&#8217;, which she created for her upcoming album. The pop star is currently on holiday in Hawaii with her boyfriend Huck Kwong. She has been posing in scantily clad snaps, complete with a butterfly filter. In her other photos, she is without makeup, sipping a pineapple.<\/p>\n<p>MUNA is a three-piece band from LA. They&#8217;re signed to Phoebe Bridgers&#8217; label, and the song is sweet and addictive. Lyrics are as sweet as cherry chapstick, while the chorus is explosive. The video&#8217;s sexy aesthetic is a welcome change from Charli XCX&#8217;s previous music.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sienna_Mae\"><\/span>Sienna Mae<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite the sexual assault allegations against Jack Wright, polynesian singer Sienna Mae has returned to the world of social media with a new video. The video featured a Dominic Fike song. The video has received mixed reactions, garnering both praise and criticism. While some have suggested the post was disrespectful, many other users have expressed support for the singer. Sienna Mae did not respond to the comments or criticism on her TikTok page.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the controversies surrounding her video, the popular YouTuber has remained defiant and has not publicly apologized for the controversial video. Earlier, she responded to the tweet that sparked the controversy. In her video, Sienna is seen dancing on a beach in Hawaii, trying to imitate a traditional Polynesian dance. After a while, she gives up and dances as if nothing happened. However, a TikTok user named kuakamahao called out the video. &#8220;It is not okay for Sienna to dance on a sacred Hawaiian island,&#8221; kuakamahao wrote in a comment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jason_Derulo\"><\/span>Jason Derulo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a recent video, Jason Derulo sampled a popular Polynesian tune on TikTok. The tune was created by 17-year-old Joshua Nanai, who performs under the pseudonym Jawsh 685. The name was a reference to the calling code of Samoa, 685, which the singer referred to as &#8220;siren jam.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although the sample was written by a New Zealand teenager named Nanai, the songwriter didn&#8217;t give him proper credit for it. Instead, the rapper did not obtain official clearance to use the sample. The video was released without the teenager&#8217;s permission. It is unclear whether or not Nanai will be compensated for the use of his song. The rap singer has not responded to inquiries about the authenticity of the song.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hQnLIzPOFQw\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"537\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the Polynesian Song on TikToc?
