Harry Styles – As It Was (2022)
TikTok was incredibly receptive to Harry Styles’ “As It Was,” which features staccato synths ripped from Julian Casablancas’ work with the Strokes. The song, which serves as the lead single from his third album Harry’s House, is good and Gen Z loves them some Harry Styles, so it was only a matter of time before the song hit its stride on TikTok. A similarly well-trending sound (which also slaps) features Styles’ “As It Was” remixed with Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” and Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu.”
