These Are the 2025 Songs of the Summer According to TikTok Canada
Glynne’s infectious 2015 dance track has become known as the 'Jet2 holiday song,' thanks to the viral trend that has soundtracked millions of memes. While it has yet to chart in Canada, the track peaked at No. 85 on the Billboard U.S. Hot 100 after its release a decade ago.

Globally, “Hold My Hand” has been used over nine million times to soundtrack hilarious videos of travel fails, holiday mishaps, animal encounters, proposal interruptions and more, with the likes of Jeff Goldblum and Mariah Carey joining in. Videos featuring “Hold My Hand” have now been viewed over 80 billion times on TikTok.
“I'm honestly buzzing that Hold My Hand has been named TikTok's Song of the Summer! This track is so close to my heart and seeing it take on a whole new life with you all on TikTok has been surreal,” shared Glynne.
“Music has always been about connection for me, and knowing this song has soundtracked so many happy moments around the world… that's the most special feeling ever. It's the song that keeps on giving!"
While “Hold My Hand” dominated our For You Feeds, there was a select group of songs — old and new — that Canadian TikTok users developed an affinity for.
A love of older tracks included Jeezy and Akon’s collaboration on the 2005 track “Soul Survivor,” which landed them at No. 2 on the Canada list. Similarly, it was propelled by a trend called “Holy Airball” trend.

The Black Eyed Peas’ energetic 2009 banger “Rock That Body” earned a spot at No. 3, thanks to dance moves by creators, fellow musicians and a few pets.
Rewinding to the '90s, Radiohead's 1997 track “Let Down” sits at No. 4. The OK Computer track found a new audience on TikTok, with the community using it to soundtrack videos and photo mode posts about relationships and personal challenges, propelling onto the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 in June for the first time after 28 years — making it the band’s third chart entry.
Additionally, Canadian TikTok users loved Kesha's 2010 hit “Your Love Is My Drug,” earning it the No. 6 spot. Everyone jumped on this trend, including father/daughter duos, viral weathermen and Love Island contestants. Even Kesha embraced the trend with her mom, who co-wrote the song with her.
It wasn't all older songs. One of the biggest TikTok trends of the summer belonged to British singer PinkPantheress. Her track “Illegal” fueled the global 'Is this illegal?' handshake trend, which had over 3.7 million global creations on TikTok and earned PinkPantheress her second chart placement on the Canadian Hot 100.
Other notable additions include singer Mila J & rapper Ty Dolla $ign, vocalist Connie Francis, pop sensation Taylor Swift and Atlanta rapper BunnaB.

It's a different list than most that dominated the Songs of the Summer debate this year. Alex Warren's "Ordinary" was crowned the Song of the Summer by Billboard's Songs of the Summer chart, but is nowhere to be found on this list. The song has become the second longest-leading No. 1 ever on the Canadian Hot 100, but apparently wasn't as popular on TikTok.
