   Think of a song that makes you super emotional or amped up. It doesn’t have to be any particular emotion! Any song that you could see yourself blasting full volume in a car with the wind blowing through your hair will work. It could be wistful, sad, aggressive, upbeat, whatever. If it speaks to your heart and makes you feel like singing at the top of your lungs, it fits the bill.

   Take a video of yourself riding in the car with the song playing. Now, just take a video of yourself listening to the song. For the best effect, sing along, or at least lip sync, and maybe add some pizazz with a little dance. If you don’t have a car, no problem—just take the video somewhere scenic, interesting, or exciting.

   • Do not use your phone while driving your car. If the car is in motion, only record a video while you’re a passenger, and don’t hang any limbs outside the car, either. Stay buckled, and safety first.
   • If you’re in a public place where blasting music isn’t appropriate, feel free to add the song as an audio to your TikTok when you upload it.
