If you’ve not heard this song, surely it’s by some miracle, because this particular track has dominated For You Pages for weeks with more than 14 million uses of the sound.

Performed by French singer-songwriter Jain, the song is about South African musician Miriam Makeba, who is well known for her activist music against the apartheid in the country at the time.

Sunroof by Nicky Youre & dazy

With its summery vibes and strong beat, Sunroof is once again becoming the song of the summer and even became the most popular song of 2022 on TikTok in the UK, according to NME.

The song is often described as a track that sticks “in your head all day”, which is part to why it’s become so popular.
