Dancehall artiste Tattwu Design has high hopes for his latest single, Thank God, a track celebrating divine protection, faith and success.
The song was originally recorded in 2022. However, in recent months, there has been a surge in Internet users choosing the audio for trending dances and lip-syncing to boost engagement and emotion on TikTok.
“Then, as the 2026 new year started, I saw a lady using the sound on TikTok with the caption “2026 the wicked dem see mi alive”, then the song started going viral from there,” Tattwu Design said.
He said that he had stopped promoting the song because other artistes had released similar-themed songs and “because whenever I write music I don’t want to sound like other artistes”.
Tattwu Design said he was inspired to write Thank God when he had a eureka moment during his frequent freestyling sessions while live-streaming on TikTok in 2022.
“I started playing this riddim and it’s like the beat kept saying ‘Thank God, thank God, the wicked dem see mi alive …’ and the person who I went live with recommended that I record it, and I did it right there and then,” Tattwu Design recalled. He said that the song has generated much support from industry insiders such as DJs and mixtape creators.
He expressed gratitude that the song has inspired similar tracks in the marketplace featuring themes of faith, redemption, and spiritual struggle.
