TikTok Crowns Jess Glynne’s ‘Hold My Hand’ 2025 Song of the Summer

TikTok credits a Jet2holidays meme with reviving the 2015 track into a dominant summer soundtrack.

Overview

  • The designation follows the viral pairing of Glynne’s chorus with Jet2’s advert voiceover by Zoë Lister that creators used to frame holiday mishaps.
  • Engagement tallies vary across outlets, with reports citing about 4.5 million posts or more than 9 million uses and total views ranging from roughly 50 billion to 80 billion.
  • Jet2 leaned into the moment with challenges, voucher giveaways and discount codes, while the trend spread to the U.S. and drove a July surge in searches for “what is a Jet2 holiday,” per Google Trends cited by Forbes.
  • TikTok also recognized co-writer Janee “Jin Jin” Bennett as songwriter of the year on the back of the track’s resurgence.
  • Jess Glynne welcomed the accolade, saying she was “buzzing” to see the song take on a new life on the platform.
