Guys, the ‘You Left’ TikTok song isn’t new – here’s where it originally came from
I LEFT MY HOME
The internet is full of catchy little songs which have become vocal stims in their own right – and a new one is doing the rounds right now.
People on TikTok are (for some reason) dancing to song about a soldier leaving home – you’ll know the one. The lyrics “that’s the reason you left” are insanely catchy and have people strutting to its beat. It’s a bit weird – but quite satisfying.
Where’s the ‘that’s the reason you left’ TikTok sound from?
@_amoney8 AND THATS THE REASON YOU LEFT🇺🇸
The “that’s the reason you left” TikTok sound is giving big military vibes – mainly because it’s meant to be sung by a soldier. The original song is called I Left My Home and was created by musician and social media personality Jonathan Michael Fleming and first went viral in 2021.
Jonathan has 2.8 million TikTok followers and has blown up after posting the cadence online, having posted it on YouTube two years ago.
