Jess Glynne has strongly refuted claims that her music promotes division or hate, following the viral spread of a TikTok meme featuring her song. The singer expressed her dismay, stating that her work is fundamentally about “love, unity, and spreading positivity.”
The audio clip, which has become a widespread meme, has been used in an amazing 1.9 million videos on TikTok in recent weeks. this unexpected virality, however, has lead to interpretations that Glynne finds deeply troubling.
In a candid post to her Instagram story, Glynne shared her feelings: “This post honestly makes me feel sick. My music is about love, unity, and spreading positivity – never about division or hate.” Her statement underscores a clear disconnect between the intended message of her music and how it’s being perceived and utilized in the online sphere.
A Nod to the Original Ad and Live Recreation
Adding an engaging layer to the story, Glynne recently met with voiceover star Zoe Lister on Capital Breakfast.Together, they recreated the original advert live on the radio, a moment that highlighted the unexpected journey of the song from its advertising roots to internet sensation.During the radio appearance,Glynne commented on the surreal nature of the situation: “it’s mad as I feel like when I do my gigs,I feel like when I go to sing the hook,I feel like they’re waiting for me to go ‘nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.’ It is tempting but I need to take this seriously, it can’t be a joke.” This reveals her awareness of the meme’s pervasive influence, even as she grapples with its implications.
The White House and Meme Culture
This incident also brings to mind previous instances where official bodies have engaged with meme culture. The White house, for example, has previously posted memes on its social media pages. One notable example involved superimposing Donald Trump’s face onto Superman with the caption: “The symbol of hope. Truth. Justice. The American Way. Superman Trump.” Such instances demonstrate how political and cultural entities can leverage internet trends,sometimes with controversial results.
Jet2, the company associated with the original advert, has been approached for comment on the ongoing situation.
