Cian MooreRight now, Trevor Daniel was supposed to be getting ready to open for Camila Cabello on her Romance tour, but due to COVID-19, the tour was postponed, and he’s at home. The good news, though, is that he’s also been able to watch his song “Falling,” which came out back in 2018, blow up on the radio.
“So, ‘Falling’ came out in 2018, but it’s just now starting to really heat up and get recognition and everything,” he tells ABC Audio. One reason for that is the song’s popularity across TikTok.
“I honestly have no clue why the song became so popular on TikTok,” Trevor admits. But, he notes, “I do remember when I was in the studio, I was really feeling that song emotionally, and I really feel like I was delivering it extremely passionately and maybe people just felt it.”
“When people feel the music, I think they just gravitate towards what they feel is real,” he adds.
While nearly two million TikToks to date have used “Falling,” Trevor says his favorites are the ones featuring one of his favorite actors.
“Terry Crews used my song in a couple of his TikToks at this point,” he shares. “And I grew up watching Terry Crews on TV and Everybody Loves Chris, and I’m a huge fan of Brooklyn Nine-Nine right now. And I saw that and I was like, super excited. So that’s probably my favorite, just because of the excitement that I got from that.”
While waiting for life to return to normal, Trevor says he’s keeping busy in quarantine. Not only is he writing a book, but he’s trying to expand his debut album, Nicotine.
“I’m trying to double the length,” he says. “So I’m telling everybody, because that’s the goal.”
