Dance Up & Comer of the Month Tiffany Day Turned Her Worst-Streamed Song Into Her Biggest Hit
"American Girl" was included on her fantastic album Halo released in April. Her latest single, "Meant To Be," is out today (Oct. 13).
Tiffany Day, a rising dance artist, turned her worst-streamed song into her biggest hit after a 30-day TikTok challenge. While touring last year, Day's drummer's wife gifted her a Dyson Airwrap, a high-end hairstyling tool. To earn the Airwrap, Day resolved to post on TikTok every day for a month, regardless of the content's performance.
This disciplined approach paid off, as Day gained 50,000 new TikTok followers and attracted multiple label deal offers. Her song "American Girl," previously her worst-streamed release, now tops Spotify's charts, with nearly 13 million streams. Day, originally inspired by a viral video of her singing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" in Italy, moved to Los Angeles to balance her music and college studies.
Her debut album, Lover Tofu Fruit, though successful, didn't fully align with her artistic aspirations. After graduating from Loyola Marymount University, Day faced a low point, feeling unfulfilled in her music career. A friend suggested she treat her next album as her last, which led her to create her most genuine work yet, HALO.
This electronic, hyperpop-driven album features hits like "American Girl" and features collaborations like "Meant To Be" with Glaive. Day's unique sound, blending dance and pop elements, sets her apart in the current electronic music landscape.
