What this is

daylight slowed by cxerxnx, the Slowed version as it appears on TikTok.

The title and artist above are the ones TikTok stored for this sound, and the link goes to that sound on TikTok. We have not matched them to a music catalogue, so we publish no release date and no catalogue identifier, and we do not claim this is the same recording as any particular release. TikTok labels this sound as the Slowed version; a different version of the same song is a different sound with its own page.

What we measured

In the 300 most recent public TikTok videos we reviewed on 17 August 2026, we counted 284 different accounts and 117,403,008 combined views at the time we looked.

One account, @katiemoncrief, accounted for about 28.7% of the views in that sample, so the total is not spread evenly.

These figures describe that one dated sample, not the sound's total use. We do not know from a single sample whether use of this sound is rising or falling, and we do not say that it is.

Creative direction

Focus on the 'duality' of the lyrics—use the sound to show a transition from light to dark or love to hate.

Looks like a fit for: Anime editors and aesthetic POV creators

• Do: Sync the first beat drop to a major visual transition or character reveal.
• Do: Use high-contrast, moody color grading to match the 'dark' lyrical theme.
• Do: Include a text overlay that poses a relatable question about a 'love-hate' situation.
• Do: Keep the video under 20 seconds to maximize loop potential.
• Avoid: Don't use bright, high-exposure filters; keep the aesthetic moody and cinematic.
• Avoid: Don't talk over the audio; let the lyrics carry the emotional weight.
• Avoid: Don't use the sound for comedy or lighthearted content; it kills the vibe.

Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no claim about which will perform better.
