Where the 'I have one daughter' TikTok trend came from

Have you ever had an incredibly stupid conversation with someone on a dating app before?

TikTok creator Luke Holloway takes those conversations and turns them into very, very catchy little songs. You've probably heard some of the tunes before, as part of his series "Day X of turning terrible TINDER conversations into songs," but none more than the now-viral "I have one daughter" video. It goes like this:

Holloway, dressed in a white cable-knit sweater: "You have any kids?"

Holloway, dressed in a green blouse and a white wig: "Yes, I have one daughter. How about you?"

Holloway in the sweater: "How many baby daddies do you have? If you don't mind me asking."

Holloway in the wig: "... I have one daughter."

Holloway in the sweater: "I understand that, is she by the same father?"

Holloway in the wig: "I don't understand."

You get the gist. It's a goofy conversation in which one person does not comprehend a fairly easy-to-comprehend issue. Unless you're the plot of Mamma Mia, chances are if you have one baby, you also have one baby daddy.

But Holloway's song is devastatingly catchy. I've been singing it for weeks. "I have one daughter," I sing as I float around my apartment doing the dishes or cooking dinner. Because of its catchiness, the video has 1.2 million likes and over 14 million views. The audio itself has been used over 65,500 times on the app, with users putting text over it to describe frustrating conversations about selling books, having vitiligo, and being a parent.

Holloway didn't immediately respond to Mashable's request for an interview, but the trend doesn't seem to be slowing — likely because, as one user said in the comment section of his video, "This is beyond catchy."
