It was thanks to TikTok that I spent the early part of the year psychologically listening to sections of the tune, on loop. @hankgreen1 ♬ We Dont Talk About Bruno But Theres A Platypus – David T. SimonAccording to a 2011 study from Finnish scientist Lassi A. Liikkanen, 90% of individuals get tunes stuck in their head at least as soon as a week. Every other video appeared to feature bits of the tune, over and over again.That repeating could be another crucial factor in the strength of TikTok earworms. I d also think that naturally hooky tunes are more likely to end up trending on TikTok entirely, though I wouldnt call it an unalterable guideline. One of the best examples I experienced of this was SugarCrash by ElyOtto, a song that practically instantly went viral on TikTok in August, even earning the artist, Elliot Platt a deal with RCA.

There might be a factor tunes from TikTok get stuck in your head.
