You assume that once a song has been out there, it\u2019s done\u2026 but TikTok has created just like this whole new way of people just discovering music. And making their own content with it\u2026 I think it\u2019s really great! I think it can only be a really positive thing. \u201cI love the fact that this [is a] song that I released 10 years ago or something and now people are hearing it for the first time \u2014 that\u2019s wild to me. It makes me so happy\u2026 when I see those videos. When I can\u2019t sleep or when I\u2019m anxious, I watch these videos of everyone dancing to \u2018Lights\u2019 and it\u2019s very sweet.\u201d (Topic starts at 2:06 in the video) TikTok\u2019s viral Car Wash trend has users taking their cars to a car wash, lathering them up with soap, and dancing.
