This week's noteworthy tale: The 1962 B-side song "Pretty Little Baby," a decades-old deep cut by pop icon Connie Francis, has gone viral on TikTok, exposing a new generation to a voice from the past in the most surprising way.
How Did Today's Explosion of This 1960s Track Go?
With "Pretty Little Baby" topping TikTok's Viral 50 chart and soundtracking hundreds of thousands of videos every day, Connie Francis, 87, is having a bizarre comeback.
The song has been featured in viral content by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, resulting in billions of streams. Connie acknowledges that she was unaware of the song's existence until the TikTok frenzy revived it.
Why Does It Have Such Resonance?
Real nostalgia is novel. The emotional authenticity of an old tape feels authentic, unadulterated, and revitalizing in today's high-gloss digital environment.
There is no age discrimination on TikTok. Even old recordings and studio-aged demos can become popular today if they have emotional resonance.
Adaptable, emotive music. "Pretty Little Baby" works in a variety of settings, including nostalgic aesthetics, introspective personal edits, and amorous recollections. It's a flexible source of content.
Things Up-and-Coming Artists Need to Know
More than polish, genuine emotion connects. Emotional honesty is timeless, regardless of the genre you write in—pop, rap, rock, or folk.
Hack the release story of your catalog. Even outdated or disposable demos could find a new home in an unlikely place.
Consider how your sounds can complement mood-based material, such as transition, love, nostalgia, introspection, or glitch aesthetics, whether you're releasing new music or repurposing old songs.
The storytellers are fans, not algorithms. When creators or celebrities share an actual TikTok moment, it might spark discovery right away.
