TikTok
➚ ‘Make Your Own Kind Of Music’
A bit different, but perfect for founder-led brands.
Jump on this trend, that sees text overlay say “what are you going to do with a degree in X?”. Typically, it’s a discipline the speaker didn’t go into or one that’s unjustly underestimated – like fashion, communications, and beauty. Show clips of the speaker smashing their career and brand building after this, showing their success despite the doubts of others.

➙ ‘My Love, Mine All Mine’
This romantic track is made for sharing the hacks and products people can’t live without.

➘ ‘Urm, I like, Serve’
A classic Harry Styles audio has made a comeback. It’s not one you’d guess, though.
As Harry’s first interview on the X Factor plays, he’s asked what he does in his bakery job. He shares that he “like, serves”. Remixed with a Kesha hit, the beat drops from there as the person on screen delivers their own serve – a beauty win or an outfit transition, most commonly.
