Tiktok Trends - April 2025

Introducing "TikTok Trends 2025" – your source for staying ahead of the game on the latest TikTok crazes!

TikTok trends move fast, and if you're not quick, you'll miss out. But let's be real, keeping up with TikTok trends can be a hassle. That's where we come in.
Each week, we'll keep you updated on what's hot on TikTok (by spending way too much time scrolling). From trending hashtags to popular sounds and formats, we've got you covered!

Please note:

• Currently, our focus is primarily on TikTok, but we're exploring other networks. It's worth testing these trends across all platforms to see what resonates best with your audience.
• Trends are generally very short, which may concern you about not mentioning the product enough. However, the mistake would be to tack on promotional elements after the video. It's crucial that the video stays true to the trend, lasts only a few seconds, and captures the essence of the need your service addresses in a brief timeframe.
• Not all trends will be suitable for every brand. It will be up to you to choose the ones that seem most relevant to your message and goals.

The “God Forbid” trend

This trend is the ultimate comeback for passive-aggressive jabs and unwanted opinions. Set to the buttery-smooth track “Easy” by The Commodores, TikTok creators are using this sound to serve dry wit and sarcastic defenses against everyday judgments.

The format is simple: show a quote that someone might say to criticize or question your behavior (in quotation marks), then hit back with a dramatic or sassy comeback that starts with “God forbid…”. It turns the judgment on its head and makes your choices sound completely valid, because they are.

How to use this trend

• Start your video with a deadpan, unimpressed, or mildly offended reaction.
• Use the “Easy” audio as your backdrop.
• Add a text overlay with two parts:
  1. A fake quote in quotes (something you’ve been judged for or called out on).
  2. Your sarcastic or dramatic “God forbid” comeback underneath.
• Bonus points if your delivery is bone-dry or exaggerated.

Text Overlay Examples

• “You check that app every morning?” God forbid I want to know my daily horoscope before chaos starts.
• “You bought another pair of boots?” God forbid my toes deserve seasonal variety.
• “You turned your notifications on for that?” God forbid I care about the vibes of my AstroClub forecast.

The “I Can Hear Just Fine” trend

This trend comes straight from a viral moment on the new season of Love on the Spectrum. The clip shows Connor, a fan-favorite, calmly but clearly annoyed after his mom tells him something he didn’t want to hear. His now-iconic line:

“I can hear just fine. Speak.”

Followed by:

“I am very upset with you.”

TikTok creators are using the audio to dramatically react to those tiny-yet-infuriating moments where someone says something mildly triggering… and it almost pushes you over the edge. It’s perfect for relatable micro-frustrations, passive-aggressive vibes, or just petty drama with serious delivery.

How to use this trend

• Film yourself lip-syncing to Connor’s now-iconic lines from the audio clip.
• Keep your delivery deadpan, mildly annoyed, or completely done.
• Overlay text that explains what someone said or did to tick you off.
• Use it for anything from workplace chaos to app fails, to people being the worst.

Text Overlay Examples

• When my friend eats the last crunchy fries when l wanted to each them at the end.
• When my Wizz match unmatched me after I sent my best opener.
• When someone says “let’s do 8am” like that’s a normal time to exist.
• When the brand says “one size fits all” but clearly it doesn’t.

The “Probably Needed a Hug” trend

This trend taps into those moments when our coping mechanisms… maybe weren’t the healthiest. Set to a gentle, nostalgic sound, creators reflect on times when they were clearly struggling but didn’t realize it in the moment, covering it up with distraction, chaos, or unhinged behavior.

It blends vulnerability with humor, making it super relatable and shareable.

How to use this trend

• Use a video or image of yourself from a specific moment—bonus points if it's chaotic, dramatic, or just very “not okay.”
• Add the text overlay that reveals what you actually did instead of asking for support.
• Match the tone of the video with the audio, this trend leans into bittersweet or self-aware humor.
• It works great with old photo dumps, selfies, dramatic reactions, or even moody aesthetics.

Text Overlay Examples

• Probably needed a hug. Made 7 new Wizz friends in one night instead.
• Probably needed a hug. Checked if Mercury was in retrograde instead.
• Probably needed a hug. Spent €200 redecorating my room for ✨vibes✨ instead.

The “Hard Launch” trend

Not every love story involves another person. This viral TikTok trend turns the classic relationship reveal into a dramatic tribute to our most unexpected (and oddly specific) obsessions. Set to the soft, swoony track Spring Into Summer by Lizzy McAlpine, creators build anticipation with a romantic stare or a soft smile, only to hard launch their true ride-or-die: a spreadsheet, a snack, a silly little app.

It’s a bait-and-switch moment that’s relatable, chaotic, and perfect for showing off the things we’re unironically obsessed with.

How to use this trend

1. Film yourself lovingly looking into the camera as if you’re about to reveal your significant other. You can lip-sync or just vibe to the song.
2. Cut to the reveal. Flip your camera or make a hard cut to your “real love”, a thing you’re irrationally attached to or obsessed with.
3. Add “hard launch” text somewhere on screen to seal the joke.

The funnier or more niche the obsession, the better. This trend works best when the reveal is unexpected but relatable.

Text Overlay Examples

• Hard launch: My portable SumUp reader because I don’t have time to chase invoices.
• Hard launch: The AstroClub daily updates I treat like breaking news.
• Hard launch: The iced coffee I will emotionally depend on for the next 6 hours.

For this trend, use this sound.

The “I just don’t think, at this age, I’m supposed to live an uncomfortable life” trend

Some things in life just aren’t worth suffering through, at least, that’s the energy behind this viral TikTok trend. Inspired by The White Lotus Season 3, the trend takes a line from Parker Posey’s character: “I just don’t think…at this age I’m meant to live an uncomfortable life. I don’t have the will.”

TikTok creators are using this dramatic declaration to justify skipping life’s little inconveniences. Whether it’s avoiding economy class, opting for food delivery over cooking, or buying the extra-expensive version of something, this trend is all about embracing convenience, indulgence, and the refusal to settle.

How to use this trend

Use this trending audio to show a situation where you absolutely refuse to deal with an inconvenience. Overlay text that describes your specific scenario, and commit to the satire; exaggeration is key! The more outrageously “necessary” your reasoning, the funnier it gets.

Text Overlay Examples

• Me explaining that if I’m taking steps, I better be getting paid for it. (Thanks, WeWard!)
• Me when someone suggests I go outside to meet new people instead of just using Yubo.

For this trend, use this sound.

The “Do You Ever Get Such Heinous News?” trend

This trend plays on the classic bait-and-switch reaction. It uses the viral audio “Do you ever get such heinous news?” to highlight situations where you completely agree with the first half of a statement, only to be completely horrified by the second half. The contrast is what makes it funny!

Creators use this format to expose red flags, questionable decisions, or just straight-up chaotic thinking. The key is making sure the first statement sounds reasonable (or even impressive) before immediately taking a sharp turn.

How to use this trend

• Start strong – The first sentence should sound like a good decision, a responsible choice, or an accomplishment. It should set up something people would typically admire or agree with.
• Twist it – The second sentence should completely undermine the first one, revealing something counterproductive, impulsive, or ridiculous.
• Keep it relatable – The best versions of this trend feel universal. Think about small everyday contradictions people experience, things we all do but don’t always admit.
• Pair it with the trending audio – The punchline hits harder with the sound, reinforcing the switch from a “yes” to a “no.”

Text Overlay Examples

• Text overlay: I woke up early to be productive.Text overlay: …and spent the first two hours staring at my phone.
• Text overlay: I said I’d just watch one episode.Text overlay: …and now the sun is rising and I need to know what happens next.

For this trend, use this sound.
