As of August 27, the sound has over 782,000 videos attached to it on the app.
Smith themself even shared a video to the song thanking video creators for their support.
They posted a video playing with their dog, Velma, set to the track with the caption: “So many amazing Like I Can videos. Love you all.”
What Is the “Like I Can” TikTok Trend?
The trend sees users create videos set to the lyrics of the chorus: “There may be lovers who’ll hold out their hands, but / They’ll never love you like I can, can, can.”
In the trend, TikTokers share videos which freeze frame in black and white as Smith sings the final line.
Some have used the trend to make sweet videos showing their love for their significant other, friends, or pets, while others have used the opportunity to make a joke being silly with their friends or showing their fondness for snacks.
How Do I Make the Best Video for the ‘Like I Can’ TikTok Trend?
TikTok account @mrbeaniebean shares videos of a black labrador called Bean.
Their “Like I Can” video was viewed over 2.2 million times with over 500,000 likes.
They subsequently shared a helpful tutorial to show how to make the best videos, captioning their post: “It’s a super simple trend but takes ALOT of time [sic].”
In the tutorial, they explain to start with the video you want to use and upload it set to the sound up until Smith sings the word “but.”
Then, take a screenshot of the last clip and add it to your video and set it to black and white.
If you’re adding the lyrics as text in time to the song too, you just need to type each word and then set the duration you want it to appear on screen for.
This is the bit that takes the longest, they said, explaining that their initial viral video took 30 minutes to create.
