Renee Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Not My Fault’ Gains After ‘Mean Girls’ Debut & ‘SNL’ Performance
This week’s Trending Up also looks at a big-arriving breakout single from Benson Boone and a viral new stomp-folk/rap hybrid by Honestav & Z.
The yearning ballad was one that Boone teased extensively for a month and a half on his TikTok page before its release on Friday (Jan. 19), with snippets that previewed the song’s explosive climax. Known by many on the app for his portrayal of the “broke boyfriend” character, Honestav tapped into something a bit more serious for “I’d Rather Overdose.” Somewhere between Post Malone and Noah Kahan with a dash of The Kid LAROI, “I’d Rather Overdose” explores the complexities of being in a codependent relationship with an addict. The song has quickly been embraced by TikTok users on their own sobriety journeys, those grieving loved ones they’ve lost to substance abuse and those who are children of parents who suffered from various addictions.
