"Sometimes All I Think About Is You" Trend

About

"Sometimes All I Think About Is You" Trend refers to a viral lip dub trend on TikTok set to a slowed + reverb version of the song "Heat Waves" by Glass Animals in which TikTokers lip dup to the lyrics "sometimes all I think about is you" to show that they miss someone when away from them, as described by on-screen text. The trend became popular in late August and early September 2021, and is similar to the There May Be Lovers trend.
