Megan Boni’s viral TikTok hit “Man in Finance” might be the song of the summer.

Since she posted it on TikTok late last month, the 19-second clip has exploded online, with countless DJ remixes, reposts and likes on the video. Boni goes by the name Girl on Couch on the platform.

In an interview on the Today show, she said she wrote the satirical song after thinking about people who complain about being single but have a strict list of checkboxes when it comes to finding a partner: “I was trying to make fun of those girls who say that they’re not high maintenance or that they want a boyfriend, but then they have a long-a** list of needs that are insane.”

“Hi, yeah, I just left the date, and I dunno, am I asking for too much? And this guy was really cute and he was a musician, and he was super passionate about what he did, but I don’t know, all I’m looking for,” go the lyrics. “I’m looking for a man in finance, Trust fund, 6ft 5, blue eyes.”

Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas even reposted himself singing along with his own version, “I’m looking for the Wi-fi network, friend’s house, airport, hotel.”
