TikTok users are DEVASTATED to learn truth about 'song of the year'

"TikTok users have been devastated to learn that the 'biggest song of the year' may have been created by AI. The song 'I Run' by HAVEN has been a huge breakaway hit, reaching number 11 on Spotify in the US and 25 worldwide. However, the track's mysterious artist and uncredited vocalist have raised suspicions that the song might not have been made by human musicians."

"On social media, former fans have been left heartbroken, with one venting: 'We're in a dystopian hell.' After its rapid rise in the charts, I Run has disappeared from Spotify and Apple Music without explanation. Amid Spotify's crackdown on AI-generated music, many have seen this as confirmation that the track was made by AI. 'AI will be our demise,' one commenter bleakly wrote. Another complained: 'It's unfortunate that people would rather listen to an AI song over a REAL artist with REAL music.'"

"I Run was released on October 28 and rapidly rose to the top of the streaming charts/ On YouTube, where the song can still be found, I Run has been listened to over 2.8 million times in less than a month. On social media, fans gushed over their new favourite song, with one writing that they 'cannot get this sound out of my soul.'"

I Run, released October 28 by an artist using the alias HAVEN, became a rapid streaming success, reaching number 11 on Spotify in the US and 25 worldwide. The track's vocalist is uncredited and HAVEN's identity remains obscured. Fans noted striking vocal similarity to singer Jorja Smith, prompting misattribution until Jorja Smith denied involvement. The song amassed over 2.8 million YouTube plays within a month before disappearing from Spotify and Apple Music without explanation. Speculation grew that the track was AI-generated, intensified by Spotify's crackdown on AI-created music and by emotional reactions from listeners worried about AI's impact on real artists.
