Tinashe’s “Nasty” Named UK’s TikTok Song of the Summer

The song has soundtracked more than 10 million videos on the video-sharing platform, solidifying its status as a viral sensation.

“Nasty” first gained widespread attention in April 2024 when its sultry groove was featured in a video by British dancer Nate de Winer.
