PixabayWhat is the “Go Little Rockstar” sound on TikTok? We’re here to tell you what song that the sound comes from, as well as how creators are using it.
Since its launch, TikTok has been the home of a variety of viral trends including dances, ‘cults,’ and more. On top of trends, the short-form video app has also been a tremendous help to up-and-coming musicians.
Since the beginning of 2021, TikTok has helped Olivia Rodrigo gain viral popularity and since July, rock-n-roll musician GAYLE has taken the site by storm with her angry break-up song: “ABCDEFU.”
Now, a band by the name of SALES is going viral with their song “Pope is a Rockstar” — and TikTokers are getting the lyrics wrong.

Originally released in 2016, TikTokers have been using the chill tunes to show off recent achievements. Oftentimes, these videos are dedicated to a family member who has passed, or someone they don’t get to see very often.
TikTok creator ‘syairjames’ used the sound to dedicate a recent high-school football win to his grandfather.
