Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock (Single Song)

There’s a point where waiting stops being cute.

“Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock” starts with that very familiar little routine: putting your phone down, promising yourself you’re not going to check it again…and picking it right back up thirty seconds later.

At first, it’s playful. Are we going out? Are we making plans? Is this flirting actually going somewhere?

But eventually, patience starts running out.

I’m not asking for forever. I’m not asking for a huge declaration. I just want to know if this is going somewhere—and I’m not going to put my life on hold while somebody decides what they want.

It’s flirty, sarcastic, self-aware, and just impatient enough to be relatable.

Because sometimes the best thing you can do is stop watching the clock, stop staring at the phone, and keep living your life.

And if that message still doesn’t come?

Aww hell…I’ll just get on TikTok.
