Connie Francis Reacts to “Pretty Little Baby” Going Viral on TikTok 63 Years Later!

The internet really said “let’s bring back the classics,” and TikTok delivered, big time!

Out of nowhere, “Pretty Little Baby” by pop legend Connie Francis (yes, THE Connie Francis!) is having a major moment on TikTok. 63 years after it first dropped.

Originally released on her 1962 album Connie Francis Sings Second Hand Love, the dreamy deep cut has suddenly become the soundtrack to over a million videos, with creators lip-syncing in vintage fits, serenading their pets, or singing to actual babies. Adorable.

Since then, the song’s been blowing up. It jumped from around 17,000 streams per week in early April to over 2.4 million just four weeks later, that’s a 7,000%+ increase. It’s even charting on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs USA and Global lists, which means a Billboard Hot 100 debut might actually be in the cards… six decades later.

What’s making this even more special is how wholesome it all feels. Connie’s timeless vocals, the sweet lyrics (“Pretty little baby, I’m so in love with you”), and the sheer unexpectedness of it all. it’s the kind of viral moment that makes you smile.

So if you needed a reminder that great music never goes out of style, this is it. TikTok just gave Connie Francis her flowers, and we are so here for it.
