Connie Francis' 1962 track "Pretty Little Baby" surged to become the most popular song globally on TikTok in 2025, appearing in at least 28 million posts and generating more than 68 billion views. The song was featured in 1.3 million posts during May and topped the app's music chart that month. Platform attribution limits mean the true video count is unclear and could be higher. The song surpassed 100 million Spotify streams and was reissued in multiple languages. Francis celebrated the song reaching a new generation and expressed gratitude to TikTok prior to her passing at age 87. Other notable TikTok year-end recognitions included Jess Glynne as runner-up and multiple global artist and track honors.
