The TikTok resurgence of Friday by Rebecca Black has officially hit peak chaos in the best way possible! The track is currently the top trending song on TikTok, with users turning it into the ultimate weekend hype anthem once again. Its simple, nostalgic, and catchy vibe makes it perfect for post-work clips. If you need a song that leans into the weekend in a light and fun way, this is your soundtrack.

This track really brings the energy! It is gritty and keeps a heavy tone, which is ideal for building hype. Its deep bass and futuristic sound are being used for everything from workout routines to dance videos, and everything in between. It is one of those tracks that won’t do well as a background track but would be excellent for setting the initial tone of your clip, especially if you want to drive attention and wake your viewers up. With Headshot by Ptasinski & RJ Pasin backing your TikTok posts, viewers will have a hard time ignoring your content.

3. Hold On Till May – Pierce The Veil

Hold On Till May by Pierce the Veil is having a moment on TikTok as the theme song for the graduation season. The song’s message about pushing through the hardest moments and holding on just a little longer now that May is here, and the finish line for school is starting to feel real. Hold On Till May by Pierce the Veil is perfect for videos looking back on everything it took to get to graduation.

4. Venus and Flower – Austin Farwell

It can be hard to pass up a relaxing piano track, especially one such as Venus and Flower by Austin Farwell. It feels like a relaxing tea house vibe put into a song. The keys in this track really do a nice job at keeping the listener entertained while also giving the content creator room to be creative. Many creators are using this song to showcase interior design posts, cute breakfast spots, and aesthetically pleasing art.

5. It’s Gonna Be Me – *NSYNC

It’s Gonna Be Me by *NSYNC is back in full force thanks to its annual May takeover. Creators are leaning into the iconic line where Justin Timberlake famously sings, “It’s gonna be me,” but it sounds like he is saying, “It’s gonna be May.” This makes it perfect for the start of the month. It’s a funny twist on the song’s lyrics and is basically unavoidable once May rolls around.

6. Good Old Days – Macklemore & Kesha

Good Old Days by Macklemore & Kesha is trending because it is becoming popular for emotional graduation clips. Creators are pairing this song with montage clips from freshman year all the way to senior milestones and final goodbyes. It captures that bittersweet realization that the moments you once rushed through are the ones you’ll wish you could relive, making it the ideal soundtrack for closing out a chapter and moving on to the next one.

7. i miss your warm hands – idontlikemirrorss

This track is gaining traction on the TikTok platform for its soft, emotional pull. The track blends a somber tone with an overall vibe that feels like it’s longing for the summer season. I miss your warm hands by idontlikemirrorss does a great job at creating that in-between feeling of leaving something behind while looking ahead. Creators are using it to build anticipation for summer, pairing reflective clips with that subtle sense of change in the air.

8. Get Right To It – Babyspazzo

Get Right To It by BabySpazzo is picking up momentum, especially in athlete circles. The track builds intensity gradually, making it perfect for highlight clips that start slow and hit hard. Paired with the caption “When life goes downhill, but I go downhill too,” creators are using it to showcase clutch plays, fast breaks, and moments where pressure turns into peak athletic performance.

9. Landslide (2017 Remaster) – Fleetwood Mac

Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is finding new life on TikTok as a tender soundtrack for family moments. Creators are pairing it with clips of kids growing up alongside their parents, capturing those quiet, everyday memories that pass too quickly. The song’s reflective tone makes each moment feel a little more meaningful, turning simple scenes into something emotional.

10. You Rock My World – Michael Jackson

You Rock My World by Michael Jackson is trending again on TikTok as creators bring its smooth, upbeat energy into dance clips. The track’s polished groove and playful confidence make it a natural fit for choreography edits and retro-inspired routines. Its renewed popularity is also getting a boost from attention around the newly released Michael Jackson biopic, helping introduce his catalog to a new wave of creators.

How to Schedule Content with Trending TikTok Songs

Efficiency is the priority for any social media strategy, and the recent TikTok API update makes it easier than ever to manage your production workflow.

Now, you can browse and add trending TikTok songs directly within the Metricool planner. This integration lets you select from the top 100 trending tracks, filtered by genre and region, ensuring your content is fully optimized before it goes live.

How to Find Trending TikTok Songs

There are many ways to find trending TikTok songs and sounds, but the main methods I use are:

• TikTok Creative Center: You can find trending songs, hashtags, creators, and videos by visiting the app’s Creative Center.
• Search other apps: Other video platforms like Instagram (Reels) or YouTube (Shorts) often share trends with TikTok, so check them if you’re looking for trending songs and sounds. 
• Check music apps: Music apps like Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube all regularly feature “TikTok Trends” playlists, which include the most popular TikTok songs from the past week, month, season, or even year.
