What is Dear Maria, Count Me In on TikTok and where did it originate?
The trend simply involves TikTok users enthusiastically singing the lyrics to the pop-punk, rock song – “Dear Maria, Count Me In” after they inform the viewers: “It’s not a phase, mom.”
20-year-old TikTok creator, Joel (@yungricepatty), started this trend by posting a video in December 2020 which featured him singing All Time Low’s “Dear Maria, Count Me In”.
Since the online platform is made up of many different genre-interests (due to algorithms), Joel captioned the upload claiming he was in search of ‘punk-pop TikTok’.
With a large following of 830.4K, it wasn’t long before Joel had started a trend: His video has now gained 8.1 million views along with 2.3 million likes.
