Noughties garage track named TikTok's UK song of the summer

British singer Kyla's 2008 garage track, Do You Mind, has been named TikTok's song of the summer in the UK. The resurgence of the noughties hit came after Canadian rapper Drake sampled it in his 2016 hit One Dance. The song has garnered over 500 million views from approximately 650,000 videos posted on TikTok in the UK during the summer.

Kyla, who co-created the song with her husband DJ Paleface, expressed excitement and appreciation for the renewed recognition, stating that it felt surreal but incredible. Singer Jorja Smith performed the track alongside Kyla at an event in London, where the crowd sang along, bringing tears to Kyla's eyes. UK garage music is making a comeback, with other artists such as Sammy Virji, AJ Tracey, and Disclosure incorporating the sound into their music, while a noughties girl group, Mis-Teeq, is reuniting.

The revival extends to other nostalgic tracks like Oasis' Wonderwall, which secured the second spot on TikTok's UK song chart due to its role as England's World Cup anthem. Katy Perry's The One That Got Away also made it to the top of the platform's global rankings, having been released nearly 15 years earlier.
