What’s Hot This Week: 5 Content Ideas to Get on TikTok’s FYP
Look inside for another summer hit from Sabrina Carpenter, a fun CapCut meme, and some atmospheric tunes for your aesthetic videos. Everything you need to get your content noticed this summer!
🎶 Please Please Please – Sabrina Carpenter
Please, please, please jump on this ASAP because it’s too good to sleep on. Sabrina Carpenter just dropped this track four days ago, and it's already featured in 85K TikTok clips. We’re betting there’s plenty more on the way! It makes a perfect backdrop for 'get ready with me' videos and makeup tutorials. And then, as always, Sabrina has delivered some tongue-in-cheek lyrics with so many great lines to choose from for funny, lip-syncing TikToks. Find the one that resonates with you the most and get creative.
How to use the sound. The line that says, ‘Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice’ would pair up nicely with anything makeup-related. Think GRWM videos, showing your makeup routine, trying a new lip combo like Kylie Jenner in the example below, or makeup reveal videos. Or, if you're feeling a bit cheeky, use the line, ‘Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another. I beg you, don’t embarrass me, motherf**ker’ for humorous reactions. Here are a few examples from us to get your creative juices flowing: ‘psyching myself up for a first date’ or ‘pleading with my dog not to have another 💩 when I’m out of poop bags.’
⚡Pro Tip: Hashtags are crucial for making your content discoverable on TikTok. The key is getting them right, though. And that’s where Hashtag Expert has got you covered—generate trending hashtag suggestions related to your niche, theme, or topic in seconds. For this audio, Hashtag Expert would def recommend including these two: #sabrinacarpenter and #pleasepleaseplease.
🎶 You Got Me Worse – idontlikemirrorss
A chill and reflective tune that makes you sit back and enjoy some quiet, introspective time. In the past week, it jumped four spots to hit the top three songs on TikTok’s Creative Center trending list. If you’re in the USA, Canada, or New Zealand, you're in for a treat, as it's been capturing a lot of attention particularly in those countries. Creators used it in almost 10K clips in the last 24 hours.
How to use the sound. Pair this with a clip of some peaceful scenery or yourself enjoying a relaxed moment any time of the day, and add some deep message. Alternatively, join in a small trend showing some love for your BSF, who's always got your back. For this one, start with a solo pic of you for the first carousel slide and a photo with your friend for the second. The first overlay text would read something like, 'Love wasn’t him [insert your text]' and then switch it up to 'Love was my best friend [add details about how your friend came through for you].' It’s a sweet way to spread some love.
🎶 True Love – Pink (ft. Lily Allen)
Here’s another track with lyrics perfect for shining a spotlight on your friends: 'I know life would suck without you. At the same time, I wanna hug you, I wanna wrap my hands around your neck.' The song celebrates every side of them—the good, the bad, the ugly. Because let’s face it, we’ve all got those different sides, and sometimes, they really do make you want to wrap your hands around their neck (and not in the sweetest way!). It’s been picking up pace slowly but surely, with 3,000 new clips using it in the last 24 hours.
How to use the sound. Stitch together several clips of your friend or partner being their goofiest selves, add song lyrics, and you're set to rake in views and likes and maybe even earn the title of 'Best Friend Ever.' Or, make it a humorous carousel post, 'Things I’d Rather Do Than…'. Start with a pic of yourself and a text overlay describing a situation you're not keen to repeat. While many creators focus on relationship woes like 'Things I’d rather do than go on another first date' or 'Things I’d rather do than another situationship,' feel free to personalize it. Make it uniquely yours, whether it’s about school, work, or awkward family gatherings. For the second slide, use a screenshot of your phone’s Notes app listing your hilarious alternatives: attending a toddler’s birthday party solo, binge-watching '90s infomercials, or assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions.
🎶 Idea 22 – Gibran Alcocer (Anya Nami Remix)
If a serene cottage lost in lush greenery or a cozy apartment with soft lighting and cute decor is your vibe, you simply must film an aesthetic video set to this atmospheric tune. Nature sounds in the background, like birds chirping and the gentle murmur of a stream, really bring those summer memories to mind. This track has been popping off lately, featured in 4000 clips in the last 24 hours. Use it to transport your followers to a place of peace and beauty.
How to use the sound. Choose a few short clips that ooze tranquility: cozy nooks around your home, slow moments on a farm or any other peaceful location, or quiet natural settings away from the tourist crowds. Make sure the clips transition smoothly to keep in tune with the calming mood of the audio. As a final touch, overlay short, sweet text. Here are a few ideas to get you started: 'quiet moments at [your location],' 'taking in the beauty of [your location],' '[location] diaries', or 'POV: you escape to [your location].'
🎶 Uninvited – Alanis Morisette
This audio might be smaller in scale, with only 3,389 clips featuring it so far, but that's actually not a bad thing. Using less popular tracks can boost your visibility since your content is less likely to get buried under the avalanche of TikToks that use trending sounds. But then also, we just can’t walk past a good CapCut meme template because they make content creation seem as easy as a walk in the park—when we all know it's anything but!
How to use the sound. There are two ways to go about this, and both are really easy and quick. First, use a CapCut template and any background photo that matches the theme of your video. Second, record yourself lip-syncing to the line ‘I am flattered by your fascination with me.’ Whichever way you go, don’t forget the overlay text—that’s what will make your video resonate with your followers.
