It's 4 am
I can't turn my head off
Wishin' these memories would fade
They never do
Turns out people lie
They say, "Just snap your fingers"
As if it was really that easy for me to get over you
I just need time

Snapping one, two
Where are you?
You're still in my heart
Snapping three, four
Don't need you here anymore
Get out of my heart
'Cause I might snap

I'm writing a song
Said, "This is the last one"
How many last songs are left?
I'm losing count
Since June twenty-second
My heart's been on fire
I was spending my nights in the ring
Tryna put it out

So I'm snapping one, two
Where are you?
You're still in my heart
Snapping three, four
Don't need you here anymore
Get out of my heart
'Cause I might snap

Oh-oh-oh-ooh
'Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh

And if one more person says, "You should get over it"
Oh, I might stop talking to people before I snap, snap, snap
Oh, I might stop talking to people before I snap

Snapping one, two
Where are you? (Where are you?)
You're still in my heart (Still in my heart)
Snapping three, four
Don't need you here anymore (Need you here anymore)
Get out of my heart
'Cause I might snap

Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Snap)
'Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Snap)
Get out of my heart
Oh-oh-oh-ooh
'Cause I might snap
Oh-oh-oh-ooh (Get out of my heart, get out of my)
'Cause I might snap​

I was thinking SloMo (dance videos), Stefania (sympathy posts for Ukraine) and SPACE MAN (I think he got famous through that app) would be huge on TikTok, heck, even Hold Me Closer (you know, kinda slowed down for those depression posts), never expected Snap to be the popular one though. But It's really cool that it gets the attention it needed. Wonder how much the results would have been different if it got this big before May.
Well Sam (reluctantly) did ask his European followers to vote for him which appeared to work to an extent. TikTok songs that go viral are based on the soundbite rather than who sings it and I doubt many people know it’s a Eurovision song. It happens organically which is why Norway and Spain didn’t go viral despite their dance efforts.

Rosa has teased her next single has a surprise. I hope it’s not a collab but if it is I hope it’s not a big artist. I remember when Lewis Capaldi wrote “Someone You Loved” he said an artist wanted to collab on it but he said no as it would have become known as their song instead. Dua Lipa turned down many collaborations for the same reason.

I genuinely believe this song was killed off at Eurovision by its staging

Snap did well in the semi-final televote because it performed last but it was never going to be remembered in the final running order. Radio friendly songs rarely stand out but she’s elevated the song more in live performances by adding Armenian elements.

When you look at the poll results here, it's interesting to see how the positive assessments are spread out in the top half. Other Eurovision songs have a big number of 12's and then the percentage quickly drops.

I'm just thinking that maybe that's what characterizes a quality song that can go beyond Eurovision - that it's likeable for many.

Embarrassing for the image of Eurovision that it only finished 20th.

also important to note that it's the speed up version that became viral, then people wondered what it is and checked the original entry too

So a song going viral on tiktok makes it quality song now?

Austria: Platinum 30,000
Canada: Gold 40,000
Denmark: Gold 45,000
France: Platinum 200,000
Germany: Gold 200,000
Italy: 2× Platinum 200,000
Poland: Platinum 50,000
Portugal: Platinum 10,000
Spain: Platinum 60,000
Switzerland: Platinum 20,000
United Kingdom: Silver 200,000
United States: Gold 500,000
Greece (streaming): Gold 1,000,000
Sweden (streaming): Platinum 8,000,000

I read this a few times now and as someone who's away from tiktok as far as it gets I think this discredit of its success is invalid. If your song gets airplay and is heard on commercials, tv shows etc. on a regular basis internationally nobody cares anymore where it was discovered. It is one of the most successful ESC songs from the latest era. Period.

Her new song is really great as well. So happy for her success, she has that warmth in her voice that's very pleasant.
