Lately before bed, when I'm finally unplugged and alone with my thoughts, a few words will push to the forefront of my mind: "Caught a vibe / Baby, are you coming for the ride?"
A decade after her music debut [1], Willow Smith has unleashed another earworm. Released with Tyler Cole in 2020 under The Anxiety, the name of both their collaboration and album, "Meet Me at Our Spot" is a sludgy alternative track with emo undertones that hits at the zeitgeist and is pretty inescapable on TikTok.
The song is currently being used in many formats: there's people using it to soundtrack their last four summers, some have it playing while they try out a cartoon character filter, and others will sign the lyrics or strum along with a ukulele. The one common thread, however, is that the audio popular on TikTok is actually taken from a live performance of the song. Watch it ahead and enjoy a few examples of the live audio being used on TikTok.
