TikTok/girl_on_couch
It's that time of the year again when an artist declares they made the "song of the summer" but one TikToker might have done just that.
TikTok Girl On Couch (@girl_on_couch) took to TikTok to ask viewers "Did I just write the song of the summer?" as she then reads off the catchy lyrics.
"I'm looking for a guy in finance, trust fund, 6'5, blue eyes, finance, trust fund, 6'5, blue eyes/I'm looking for, I'm looking for, I'm looking for," she says as she mimics a beat drop.
She added in the caption: "Can someone make this into an actual song plz just for funzies."

One person said: "This sounds like something Charli XCX would release."
"TikTok music people do your thing!" another person asked.
Someone else added: "Idk if it’s *the song of the summer* but it’s definitely *my* song of the summer."
"All the stitches to this are fire 'I just want a 'looking for a man in finance' festival with all the songs playing," a fourth person commented.
In a follow-up video, the TikToker added some more lyrics to the song: "Head to Murray Hill, where were chill/Don't be a c***, just let it run, let it go, have a ball, we are just trying not to fall."
She then urged thousands of DJs to "submit their best work".
