TIKTOK takes storytelling to a whole new level with the “one thing about me” trend.
Nicki Minaj’s hit song Super Freaky Girl inspired a quirky, comedic way for users to share interesting life experiences.
What’s the “one thing about me” trend on TikTok?
The TikTok “one thing about me” trend allows users to share stories in a musical and comedic way.
Trending entertaining videos on the platform often include unique or bizarre experiences.
According to Distractify, the trend originally had creators giving information about themselves with Background Jazz Vibes’ “Summer Background Jazz” playing in the background.
However, since the release of Nicki Minaj’s latest single, Super Freaky Girl, TikTokers have been using her beat to create rap videos telling personal stories.
Minaj’s song – which includes the verse: “One thing about me, I’m the baddest in the world” – prompted users to start with “One thing about me…” and then continue with their own fun and creative raps after his beat.
Videos are shared using the hashtag #onethingaboutme.
What have users shared with the new trend?
TikTokers, celebrities, and influencers around the world have taken a liking to the platform’s latest trend.
One user, @possumgirl, shared a video which has since garnered over 5.6 million views.
“One thing about me is when I was 10, this kid in my class used to stick my butt together,” she sang as she told her weird story.
Social media influencer and businesswoman Valeria Lipovetsky took a similar route to trending by sharing an event in her life that “humbled” her.
She chose to talk about a time when she was 14 and was invited to a nightclub to celebrate winning a modeling contest.
Lipovetsky sings about how everyone was staring at her and it made her feel like ‘hot sh*t’ but actually it was because she got her period while wearing white jeans on elephant legs.
The mother-of-three ends the video by singing: “And this is the story of how I was humbled by life and never wore white pants again until three years ago .”
Lipovetsky, who has 2 million followers on Instagram, captioned his reel: “Traumatic teenage experience, but make it musical theatre.”
