JAKARTA - Social media and songs are two things that are often a means to express feelings. Both of them can even synergize like what happened in the time of TikTok which was at its peak.

Kini viralitas sebuah lagu tak hanya datang dari rilisan terbaru. Phenomenon lagu lama yang tiba-tiba muncul kembali ke musar juga acap kali terjadi.

'Put Your Head On My Shoulder' (Paul Anka, 1958) or 'I'm Just A Kid' (Simple Plan, 2002) is an example of an interesting phenomenon between music and TikTok.

Not only foreign, many Indonesian musicians' songs were also widely heard several years after the release. And these songs usually have one feature, namely lyrics that are relatable in themes and lyrics.

Mangu, is a collaboration song Fourtwnty with Charita Utami which was released last April 2022. Even now, the lyrics of the song that raises love for different religions are still milling about in the FYP TikTok column.

Moreover, this song is also often performed by Ari Lesmana et al at various gig events. Spectators who experience similar stories do not hesitate to sing and record favorite parts that match their stories.

The song of the ideal of different religions itself is also quite unique, because it does not happen in all countries. Indonesia may be one of the few countries that perpetuate the theme of this romance.

Before Mangu, Marcell Siahaan's song, Peri Kutaku, had already become a soundtrack for couples who had different beliefs. And again, this popular hit is still often performed from stage to stage, and invites the audience to sing loudly.

Although sometimes social media floods users with new information, or songs, it still has a positive impact on previous works. Every era has its own nostalgia, and it looks like it will continue to happen until the following times.
