TikTok's new hit song sounds like the Powerpuff Girls dipped into Scarface's powder,kisah lucah isteri orang kelas malam puffed a joint, then ripped a night out in the East Village....then wrote a hyperpop, bubblegum song about it.
The song is called "10 Drunk Cigarettes" by Girly Girl Productions and it's a seemingly AI-assisted ditty about all the things a girl needs more than a man. You'd be forgiven that — barring the song title — it sounds like a godawful Katy Perry track. Instead, it's a pretty hilarious and raunchy song that folks have loved.
It doesn't hurt that the song seemingly plays off the old TikTok formula that made viral songs like "abcdefu" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Bitch." It's easy to count along, almost like "The Twelve Days of Christmas."

Here's the bulk of the song, written out for your reading pleasure:
"10 things us girls need before we ever need a man:
1 new vape
2 lines of coke
3 drinks from the bar
4 more lines of coke
5 guys fries
6 hits of my blunt
7 more lines of coke
8 pairs of shoes
9 B.B. belts
And 10 drunk cigarettes"
The song also goes into all the things a girl seriously doesn't need from a man before ultimately deciding some money would be nice. It's honestly a funny song and does the classic trick of mixing an innocent-sounding beat with raunchy lyrics.
People have been sharing it on TikTok and posting lip-syncs and covers. Some of the videos have logged hundreds of thousands, or up to a million, views.
