Jess Glynne's Hold My Hand Tops TikTok Summer Songs Globally

Jess Glynne's 2015 song "Hold My Hand" was named TikTok's song of the summer for 2025, driven largely by its viral use in a Jet2holidays advertisement featuring the tagline "nothing beats a Jet2 holiday." This campaign sparked a social media trend highlighting holiday mishaps and happy moments, leading to over 4.5 million TikTok videos using the track and accumulating 50 billion views globally. The song's resurgence on TikTok has been celebrated by Glynne and co-writer Janee Bennett, who was named TikTok's songwriter of the year. TikTok's top summer songs list also included a mix of nostalgic hits, such as Jeezy's "Soul Survivor," Radiohead's "Let Down," and Connie Francis' "Pretty Little Baby," alongside recent tracks by PinkPantheress and MOLIY. The popularity of the Jet2holidays trend extended beyond the UK to the US, driving increased search interest in the brand. Overall, TikTok continues to influence music consumption by reviving older songs through viral trends while also promoting newer releases organically.
