Are TikTok Song Mashups Better Than the Original Version?

Let's be honest here. We have all heard a song that was remixed or mashed-up and makes you think: Why wasn’t this the original version? It’s no secret that TikTok has paved the way for DJ’s and music producers when it comes to song mashups. Ranging from the trendy slowed down version of “Hayloft” by Mother Mother or the infamous slowed-down version of K.Flay’s track “High Enough”. Each song has been remixed or slowed down to give the listeners a version of the song the world should have gotten in the first place.

No matter your current mood or preference in music, there’s a TikTok mashup out there for you. If you are into pop and alternative music then Arctic Monkeys x Harry Styles “Do I Wanna Know x Women” is the mashup for you. This mashup gives you an instant boost of confidence that takes over your entire body as you listen. By combining Harry Styles soft yet soulful voice with the Arctic Monkeys’ hard-hitting guitar, “Do I Wanna Know x Women” creates a soul touching mix for listeners of all types.

Now, if you love artists like Ariana Grande and Lizzo, then this pop mix of Cuz I Love You x Dangerous Woman is the mash-up for you! Given the strength of both artists’ sound, putting Ariana Grande and Lizzo together is a total power move when it comes to appealing to both fan bases. This track is the perfect anthem for all of us to dance to in our rooms, in our cars, or even on a girls night out. Who needs a guy when you have a new girl anthem?!

For the rock and pop music lovers, Everybody Loves an Outlaw’s “I See Red” x Harry Styles’ “She” is the perfect mix for you. Combining the confident rock vibe of both “I See Red” and “She” creates the perfect mood for any occasion. Whether it’s a date night or a night in with a glass of wine, this TikTok mashup will give you all the feels.
