2. Letter To My 13 Year Old Self (Instrumental) – Mei Mei The Bunny

This instrumental track has a slower pace and a tune that is great for reflecting. Many creators are using it to go back in time and tell their 13-year-old self something they wish they had known. This trend is a part of the reason why “Letter To My 13 Year Old Self by Mei Mei The Bunny” is sitting at number 2 on the TikTok board. With no lyrics, this can also be a great option for background music on your TikTok videos. This helps add texture and a subtle feel to all of your posts on the platform.

This track really brings the energy! It is gritty and keeps a heavy tone, which is ideal for building hype.

• TikTok Creative Center: You can find trending songs, hashtags, creators, and videos by visiting the app’s Creative Center.
