Are you seeing colorful images of dolphins in your TikTok feed?
If so, you are not alone.
A new viral trend on the social media platform involves people posting pictures and videos of dolphins with heartbreaking messages to the song “Symphony” by Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson.
The account @heiratet started the trend last month by posting images of dolphins featured in the 2017 hit song, with the message, “I’m depressed.”
The video has over 1 million views and sparked the ongoing trend.
The account continued to post the same content with various messages such as “I have social anxiety”, “I think too much about everything”, “My mental health is gone”, “I want to give up my whole life” and “I’m afraid of people .”
More TikTokers joined the trend, to the point where it has taken over the “About You” page on TikTok.
Larsson, 26, eventually caught on to the trend featuring her song and made her own video featuring images of dolphins.
Her post reads, “fk’s happening.” It has over 10 million likes and 47,000 comments.
“I knew she would love this trend,” one fan commented.
“I love it when artists join trends from their songs,” another person wrote.
Another fan said: “I can’t breathe SHE KNOWS.”
Larsson also played dolphin visuals behind her during one of her recent concerts as she sang “Symphony,” which also went viral on TikTok.
“I hope you understand how iconic this is,” read one fan comment.
“She’s really so frivolous that I like it,” said someone else.
“The only thing missing is dolphin themed merch!!!!” wrote a third fan.
The dolphin image was created by Christian Riese Lassen and is called “Enjoy Sunshine”.
“For the past three decades, legendary artist Christian Riese Lassen has been known throughout the world for his magnificent works of art,” his website states.
“His world is a mixture of real and imaginary, with magnificent underwater scenes with dolphins and other sea animals, as well as seascapes and landscapes of unparalleled beauty and harmony,” adds the description of Lassen’s works.
“Symphony” was released in 2017 as the second single from Clean Bandit’s second studio album, What Is Love?
The three and a half minute song is considered classic-pop.
Thanks to the TikTok trend, the song topped Billboard’s TikTok Top 50 at the end of August.
