GAYLE has gained popularity on TikTok thanks to her song “abcdefu” going viral on the platform. But what’s the song about, and what exactly are the lyrics? 

While TikTok has been the home of many viral dance trends, the short-form video app has also helped various creators gain popularity thanks to various talents like music.

In January 2021, Olivia Rodrigo took the site by storm with her song “drivers license” and in 2019, Lil Nas X’s popularity soared when he created the Yee-Haw challenge to promote his newest single, “Old Town Road.”

Now, Singer GAYLE has been gaining popularity for her angry breakup-inspired song “abcdefu” and many creators have turned it into the latest viral trend.

I was into you, but I’m over it now
And I was tryin’ to be nice
But nothing’s getting through, so let me spell it out
A-B-C-D-E, F-U
And your mom and your sister and your job
And your broke-a*s car and that s**t you call art
F**k you and your friends that I’ll never see again
Everybody but your dog, you can all f**k off

Gayle has continued to gain popularity since her song started going viral, with thousands of followers gained each month.

She’s also uploaded a video of her reacting to the song being played on the radio, which has over 19 million views.
