Do You Mind is not the only older song the platform has introduced to new audiences through trends this summer.

Oasis’ 1995 classic Wonderwall has secured the title of second biggest UK song of the summer on TikTok after becoming the unofficial soundtrack to England’s World Cup journey.

Its popularity in mass singalongs for fans prompted a 6,800% surge in searches for it since the start of the tournament, according to Tiktok.

The track also featured in more than 300,000 videos and also climbed back up the singles chart to number two.

The continued nostalgia for the Britpop band also helped their track Champagne Supernova make it to number six in the TikTok top 10 list.

The trend for nostalgic tracks appears to have been worldwide as US singer Katy Perry’s The One That Got Away has been crowned TikTok’s global song of the summer nearly 15 years after it was first released in 2011.

It has featured in more than 15 million TikTok videos, with Perry saying it is “surreal” to see the track “having this moment all these years later”.

“From seeing it being chosen in the ‘choose your own adventure’ section of my Lifetimes Tour concert film to seeing people discover it on TikTok and make it part of their own stories has been really special to watch,” she says.

“It’s nice to revisit an amazing chapter while watching another unfold.”
