A 1962 song by Connie Francis is gaining new attention thanks to TikTok. The track, “Pretty Little Baby,” has gone viral on the platform. Users are creating videos using the song’s audio, sparking renewed interest in the classic hit.
The song originally appeared as the B-side to Francis’ single “Vacation.” While “Vacation” was the charting hit at the time, “Pretty Little Baby” is now finding its own audience. The track has been featured in an endless number of TikTok videos up to now.
A slowed-down version of the song was used in a video that quickly gained millions of views. Since then, the audio has been used in a wide range of content, including fashion, nostalgia, and emotional storytelling clips.
On April 10, “Pretty Little Baby” was streaming 17,000 times per week in the U.S.; a month later, it was streaming 2.4 million times, an increase of more than 7,000%. It also entered several viral charts across different countries.
This resurgence highlights how older music can find new life through social media. TikTok has become a powerful tool for music discovery, especially for Gen Z users. Songs from past decades are often repurposed in creative ways, leading to renewed popularity.
Connie Francis, known for hits in the 1950s and 1960s, is now reaching a younger audience. Her music catalog is seeing increased engagement across streaming platforms. Record labels and rights holders are also benefiting from the trend.
The success of “Pretty Little Baby” on TikTok shows the platform’s influence on music consumption. It also reflects a growing interest in vintage sounds among younger listeners. The trend continues to evolve as more classic tracks resurface online.
