What this is

sidekick by dirty brunette.

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.

What we measured

In the 300 most recent public TikTok videos we reviewed on 20 August 2026, we counted 57 different accounts and 7,533,241 combined views at the time we looked.

One account, @khadija_ation, accounted for about 46.4% 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

Sync your best player highlights to the beat drop and use text overlays for hot takes.

Looks like a fit for: Football edit creators and anime montage editors

• Do: Sync the first beat drop to a player's goal celebration.
• Do: Use high-contrast filters for a nostalgic, vintage look.
• Do: Include a 'hot take' text overlay about a current transfer rumor.
• Do: Use fast-cut transitions between different match clips.
• Avoid: Don't use the sound past the 30s mark; the hook is in the first 15s.
• Avoid: Don't use low-quality, blurry match footage.
• Avoid: Don't ignore the lyrics; try to match the 'longing' vibe with emotional player moments.

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