“Sky” by Playboi Carti has been making waves on TikTok, securing the top position on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart. This track, featured on Carti’s 2020 album “Whole Lotta Red,” has consistently gained popularity on the platform, thanks in part to a trend that emphasizes the lyric, “Wake up/ It’s the first of the month.” As the chart reflects activity from November 27th to December 3rd, it’s clear that “Sky” has maintained its dominance among TikTok users.
“Sky” is an intriguing song that delves into themes of intoxication and emotional detachment. In the lyrics, Carti explores the sensation of being high on substances like weed and lean, highlighting a desire for numbness. This theme is encapsulated in the chorus, where Carti admits to feeling so high that he can’t feel anything. Moreover, he touches upon his evolving emotions towards his significant other, revealing a growing sense of disconnection and falling out of love over time.
The song’s instrumental is noteworthy, featuring video game-esque synths and booming 808s. The production is courtesy of Art Dealer, with whom Carti had previously collaborated on “Long Time (Intro)” from his album “Die Lit.” This blend of distinctive production elements and Carti’s unique lyrical style contributes to the song’s appeal.
On the TikTok Billboard Top 50 chart, “Sky” has managed to fend off competition, even with Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” steadily rising in the ranks. Mariah Carey’s track moved from the 3rd to the 2nd position on the chart dated December 9th, making it a formidable contender.
It’s worth noting that the TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking based on TikTok creations, video views, and user engagement specifically within the United States. This chart provides insights into the songs that are currently resonating the most on the platform.
