Tunes once relegated to grandma’s jukebox are now respawning as trend monsters and cue Connie Francis’ ‘Pretty Little Baby.’ After the nostalgic snippet slipped into TikTok’s conveyor belt, Gen Z twirled in slow motion like it was the hottest new drop.

Speaking of the TikTok phenomenon, Francis weighed in on the virality. Though her track now dominates Gen Z playlists, her reaction was wrapped in retro.
