I really want to crack it, because I have high expectations for the single \u2018To do\u2019, and it just didn\u2019t work out.\u201d (Topic starts at 1:42) TikTok has been a game-changer for many artists over the last few years, with Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s \u2018Drivers License\u2019 and Doja Cat\u2019s \u2018Kiss me more\u2019 going viral on the platform \u2014 helping them become nominated for The Grammys song of the year.
