Tiktok Trends - September 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 “Talent is a pursued interest” trend

Bob Ross is back on everyone’s feeds with one of his most quotable lines:

“I can’t draw a straight line, Bob, I don’t have the talent… Talent is a pursued interest. In other words, anything you’re willing to practice.”

This audio has become a motivational trend where creators flip the idea of “natural talent” into proof that skills are built, not born. Whether it’s nail art, painting, or literally any hobby, the magic is showing your progress: from messy beginnings to polished results. It’s equal parts inspiring and satisfying, which is why it’s taking off on both TikTok and Instagram.

How to Use This Trend

Use the Bob Ross audio.
Start with a text overlay or cover slide showing the old belief: “___ is a talent.”
Correct it with: “___ is a practice.”
Show a progression: early attempts vs. current results. This can be a before-and-after, a side-by-side, or a full carousel of your glow-up.
Keep it real: mix in funny fails, milestones, or the years/months it took to get better.

Scenarios You Can Use It For

Creative skills: drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, music production, writing.
Personal glow-ups: makeup, hairstyling, fashion sense, public speaking.
Sports/fitness: weightlifting progress, yoga flexibility, dance, running pace.
Work/academic skills: coding, editing, presentation design, studying habits.

The “Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway” trend

@only1zm And now I gotta switch her down😒 #fyp #foryou #trending #viralvideo ♬ original sound - J.RSmithers

Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway” has resurfaced, and it’s not the soaring chorus that’s trending: it’s the rhythmic “da-da-da-da-da” section. The beat has taken on a life of its own: some creators hear it as a playful “shoot, shoot, shoot” cue for over-the-top protective scenarios, while others use it to highlight funny truths, lightbulb moments, or nostalgic vibes. The sound works because it can swing both ways, dramatic and jokey, or soft and sentimental.

How to use this trend

Grab the “Breakaway” audio and sync your content to the “da-da-da-da-da” section.
Decide on your vibe:
- Comedic: exaggerate finger guns, props, or sassy reactions to “shoot down” whatever your text overlay says.
- Reflective/nostalgic: place text overlays on each beat, revealing insights, mini confessions, or growth moments.
Keep edits sharp and rhythmic: whether it’s fast cuts, photo slides, or beat-timed captions.

Scenarios / Text Overlay Ideas

Me if anyone talks bad about my best friend.
POV: realizing how far I’ve come since last year.
Me thinking I’ll be productive after one episode of Netflix.

For this trend, use this sound.

The “Wherever the wind takes you” trend

@famousm1r right back to sleep😭😭 #fyp #dahmir #explorepage #trending #fypツ ♬ original sound - soundeffects4u

This one’s short, silly, and super relatable. The audio is just the sound of wind blowing, and creators are using it to “explain” how they accidentally ended up somewhere they probably shouldn’t be but secretly wanted to go all along. It’s the perfect excuse for giving in to guilty pleasures, bad habits, or everyday cravings. The comedy comes from pretending that you had no control over it; the “wind” just blew you there.

How to Use This Trend

Grab the “wind blowing” sound effect.
Film yourself being taken by the wind: walking, stumbling, or cutting to a clip of where you’ve “ended up.”
Use text overlay to reveal the joke (“Go where the wind takes you”).
Keep it light, funny, and exaggerated for maximum payoff.

Examples for different scenarios:

to Taco Bell at 1AM 🌮
to Amazon checkout with 12 “essentials” 📦
to my ex’s Instagram account again 👀
straight to Sephora 💄

For this trend, use this sound.

The “What do you do the whole day” trend

@leorealtoks
♬ original sound - nana.1

This one’s a simple but funny loop trend. The audio is just a sound effect while creators walk (or spin) in circles with different text overlays popping up. The hook is that the text answers a specific question like “What do you do the whole day on vacation?” and the punchline is that you’re basically repeating the same four things on an endless loop. It’s super easy to film, super relatable, and works for almost any lifestyle or niche.

How to use this trend

Use the “Na na na na” sound.
Film yourself moving in circles (walking, spinning, or editing clips in a loop).
Add a main text overlay as the question (e.g., “What do you do the whole day on vacation?”).
Layer smaller text overlays around the loop to show your repetitive habits.
Keep it short, simple, and a little self-deprecating for maximum relatability.

Fun ideas for text overlays:

Working from home: making coffee → checking Slack → snacking → overthinking
At the gym: stretching → taking selfies → water break → leaving early
In the house the whole day: opening fridge → closing fridge → opening fridge again → repeat
Pet owner life: feeding → cleaning → cuddling → worrying
Content creator POV: brainstorming → filming → editing → spiraling

For this trend, use this sound.
