15. What I mean when I say I’m from
This TikTok trend is one where creators show pictures from where they live. Creators from around the globe have used the trend to show their country or town’s most special places, local food, experiences, etc.
Original sound: What I mean when I say I’m from
Tags: #whereilive #whereilivechallenge
As a business, you can use this trend to show where your business is from or where your products are sourced from. For example, if you’re a cosmetics business that sources your ingredients from different parts of the world - use this trend to show your audience where you get them from. So, the first part of the video would be a photo or video of the product with the text caption ‘What I mean when I say I’m from…’ and the name of the place - let’s say the Amazonian forests of Peru. This will be followed by hi-res images of the place the raw material is from.
If you’re a coffee shop, show your audience the coffee fields you source from, on the other hand, a boutique can show their best-selling outfit and where the craft originated from.
16. Hopeful for today
This funny TikTok trend allows creators to share their truth wherein they show what they planned to do and then tell you what really happened.
Original sound: Hope by Twista
Tags: #hopefulfortoday #hopefultrend #imhopefulfortoday #hopetwista
If you’re a business, you can use this reel to market your product or service. For example, if you’re an ice cream salon, the first part of your TikTok can be of a video that shows a cone of ice cream and the caption reads ‘I really shouldn’t have more than one of these.' This is when the screen freezes, turns black and white and there are multiple texts popping up like - ‘this wasn’t the last one she ate, in fact, she ate 2 more ice cream cones and a sundae, she couldn’t look happier.
17. Cherry Bonbon
In this viral TikTok trend you describe two people with their personalities, quirks and habits - showing visual proof through photos and videos. Let’s look at some examples to understand this trend better.
Original sound: Cherry Bonbon - Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
Tags: #CherryBonBon #cherrybonbonchallenge #cherrybon
As a business, this is a super fun way to show your customers how your products are meant for them. For example, if you own a cafe business that sells coffee and also has a book rental section, you can create the Cherry Bonbon trend to appeal to your ideal customer. So - the first stick figure would be labeled ‘person who loves coffee & books’ and the second stick figure can be labeled with your business name or replaced by your logo.
In the first 3 pictures, you can show photos of people reading books and drinking coffee in a generic environment. The next 3 pictures are what will spin this trend in your favor, so use your most aesthetic shots of people enjoying a coffee and reading at a cozy spot in your cafe.
18. Google Earth trend
The Google Earth video is what’s trending right now on TikTok. In this video, creators use Google Earth to show people an interesting spot that they have been to. It works very well visually where you keep zooming in to the location and then it opens up to show cinematic photos and videos of the place.
Original sound: Talking to the moon - Bruno Mars
Tags: #googleearthtrend #googleearthchallenge #googleearth
If you’re a business, this is the best TikTok trend to showcase your business’s store. Use high-resolution and cinematic photos of your store for this trend that can literally direct potential customers to your store.
19. Meet the group / No Roots
This is a great TikTok trend to introduce your online community to your closest friends, by describing them and their personalities in a super cool way.
Original sound: Alice Merton - No Roots
Tags: #noroots #norootschallenge #ignoroots #gotnoroots #ivegotnoroots
If you’re a business, you can use this trend to introduce your team, employees, or even your products. You’ve already seen examples of how you can use them to describe people, so now let’s look at how you could use this trend to showcase your products.
Just like you would for people, keep handy small videos of your best-selling products. You will add these to your TikTok video and when you freeze the frame on your product, you can list what it is used for, its main ingredients, or even what problem it solves. For example - a cosmetic brand could use this trend to showcase their summer kit. So the first part of the video would say - ‘Let’s see what is in our summer kit’ and every time they introduced a product, the video would freeze and they could list what the product does or its main ingredients.
20. Main character trend
In this TikTok trend, creators show you how they may not be the main character (of a movie or tv show) but they are one of the supporting characters that are equally loveable. You get to show your personality through examples of the popular character you are associating yourself with. It is a great way to get your audience to know you better. Let’s look at some more examples from creators to see how they did this trend.
Original sound: Why’d you only call me when you’re high
Tags: #notthemaincharacter #maincharacter #maincharacterenergy #imnotthemaincharacter
As a business, you can use this trend to highlight your products. For example, if you sell mobile accessories, you can use this trend to show your latest bestsellers. For this, the first part of your TikTok would be a video of a phone, for example, the iPhone with a text caption that says ‘I am not the main character but…’ and this would be followed by images of the accessories you’re selling for the iPhone like Bluetooth earphones, phone cases, stickers, and you can also add a CTA at the end that says ‘In stock now’ or ‘Starting at $10’.
21. In this house - Marcus Vinicius
This TikTok trend has 8 to 10 images followed by a 5-second video clip - all of which are cut to the beat of Marcus Vinicius’s song In this house. Let’s look at some examples of how creators are using this trend:
Original sound: In this house - Marcus Vinicius
Tags: #inthishouse #inthishousechallenge #hoesinthishouse #hoesinthishousechallenge
This is the perfect trend for a business to showcase its products. You can show 8-10 high-res images of your product with a video of your store or you can also use this trend to show your audience the BTS of your latest campaign shoot.
22. I hate people who work at the bank
In this TikTok trend, creators use the phrase ‘I hate people who work at the bank’ as an ironic statement. For example, if I were to say, I hate eating chocolate (as caption) in the 1st part of this TikTok video then in the 2nd part, you can see me buying tonnes of chocolates at the supermarket. This is a great way for creators to reveal their quirks to their audience.
Check out how other creators on TikTok have used this trend:
Original sound: I hate people who work at the bank
Tags: #ihatepeoplewhoworkatthebank #IWorkAtTheBank
If you’re a business and want to announce a sale, you could use this TikTok trend to do so. You can simply make your caption - ‘I hate crowded sales and discount days’ using a visual of a crowded shopping store. In the next part of your video, you can show someone sitting on the couch and ordering your products at 80% off. Don’t forget to follow this with a call-to-action for your sale by using some great visuals.
23. I was busy thinking about
Here’s a simple TikTok trend that takes only 2 video clips to make. You can use this TikTok trend to bring your user’s attention to a thought that’s been circling your mind. In the first part of this TikTok trend video, you show yourself saying ‘I was busy thinking about…’ and you follow it with a picture or video of the question that’s been on your mind - for example, ‘how are dams built?’.
Let’s watch this video to see how other creators did this TikTok trend:
Original sound: I was busy thinking bout - Charli XCX
Tags: #BusyThinkingAbout #iwasbusythinkingbout #iwasbusythinkingabout #iwasbusythinkingboutboys
If you’re a business, you can use this TikTok trend to answer some of your audience’s questions or even highlight your product’s best feature. For example, if you’re a travel operator, you can use this to show the destinations you operate in. So the first video would show someone thinking and the caption can read ‘I was busy thinking about...’. This would be followed by a video of the place or activity you want to show with an intriguing caption - like a video of bungee jumping in Dubai and the caption can read ‘how people go bungee jumping in Dubai in less than $100’. Redirect them to your caption for a full explanation.
24. Don’t be surprised if one day if I just
In this super fun TikTok trend, you can share with your audience the kind of life you want to live or what you plan to do someday. You have to use high-res images and videos to show your vision after the initial photo or video with the caption ‘don’t be surprised one day if I just…’.
Let’s look at how other creators jumped on this trend:
Original sound: Go down on you by The Memories
Tags: #DontBeSurprised #dontbesurprisedifonedayijust
For a business, you can use this trend to showcase your products or hint at your future business plans. For example, if you sell vegan products, the first part of your video can be of a person smiling or eating something with the text caption ‘Don’t be surprised one day if I just…’ - followed by images of the vegan products you offer like soy milk, vegan patties, tofu, etc.
25. GTA San Andreas Loading Screen

BONUS: How to find TikTok Trends?
If you want to grow faster on TikTok, you have to make the most of TikTok trends. So in this section, we’re going to show you how you can find what’s popular right now on TikTok - hashtags, sounds or challenges.
Here are 3 ways you can find the latest trends on TikTok:
1) Screen through the discover page
The discover page is the best place to start finding trending sounds, hashtags, and challenges. You can see the latest trends and hashtags under the trends section or you can also go to the sounds section and see what songs are currently being used by creators on the platform.
One thing to keep in mind though is that once a trend or hashtag hits the discover page you have a maximum of 3-5 days to create content on it because it is already saturated.
The top-most banner mostly shows you sponsored trends and hashtags. As a creator, it is a good idea to make TikTok videos on sponsored trends too as they will be boosted by both TikTok and the brand.
2) Spotting up-and-coming trends
The TikTok algorithm does not curate trends and so what you see on your For You page is usually a mix of trending videos and video content that you have earlier engaged with. The For You page thus is the best space to spot new trends. However, you need to keep in mind that TikTok trends now don’t last for more than 5-7 days and you want to be able to jump on a new trend early on.
Here’s a 3 step guide to spot trending content early:
1- Create a second TikTok account where you don’t engage with anything or follow anyone. Simply use this account to scroll through the For You page. You’ll see videos from a much wider user base than you do on your primary account - making it easier for you to spot a new trend.
2- Keep a check on a new song, challenge, or action that you have not seen before. When you identify a sound or action like that, click on the soundbar at the bottom of the TikTok video. You can now see the original date of when the soundtrack was first used and videos that have already been created ranked by popularity.
If the original date of the video is more than 2 weeks, it is old content. If the sound has been used in over 100,000+ videos, it’s probably saturated content. You want to find a relatively new sound (less than 7-10 days old) that has not been used in more than 2000-3000 videos. 
3- When you find a sound or challenge like that - save the audio file first so you don’t have to search for it later and wait for another day or two to see how much it has grown. If the video has grown anywhere between 30-50% more overnight or is seeing a gradual growth over 2 days, it has the potential of blowing up. Now is the right time to jump on this trend.
3) Follow trending creators
One of the simplest ways to find new trends is to follow creators who are the first to jump on the latest trends. As soon as they post a trend, you will have less than 2-3 days to create your own version of it before it becomes saturated content. You will have to identify and follow these creators as well as constantly check their feed to ensure you haven’t missed their latest post.
We have also extensively researched over 300 brands and more than 650 videos to come up with a TikTok brand marketing report that will give you a deeper understanding of how top brands use TikTok and how you can best use it for yourself or your business.
