In another video, a group of young adults are stuck on a Safari ride in the middle of a rainstorm. They are dressed in bikinis and shorts, which means they likely didn’t expect there to be any rain coming down on them during their experience. @Markelatarrance posted the video with the trending sound to express how ready she and her friends were to get home and out of the rain.

Another user named @TheLeslieAlyssaSanders used the trending sound to explain her instant regret whenever she leaves the house without wearing a bra. Although it’s more comfortable to skip wearing a bra, it can also lead to unwanted attention and stares.

In another video posted by @TheySaidKay, the user added the trending sound to highlight her discomfort after getting caught by her boyfriend's mother. The on-screen text on her video says, “POV: 7 a.m., you go to use the bathroom, his momma saw you, now she’s waking up the whole house screaming about how disrespectful her son is and how he always has “h--s” in the house.

She continues, "So now they’re arguing and he’s rushing to get ready so he can drop you off. As you walk out, the whole family is in the living room looking at you.” Anyone in that predicament would be ready to go home too.

If you’ve been on TikTok recently, you have probably heard the “I wanna go home” sound used in various viral videos.

The “I wanna go home” TikTok sound is versatile. The song’s tone is perfect background music for any awkward or inconvenient situation, such as getting scammed by a third-party hotel booking website or working as waitstaff for a 91-customer reservation.

Another example of the sound is in this viral video posted by TikToker Tivona, who used the song to describe her true feelings after a friend tells her that “the night’s just getting started” at 10 p.m.

“I’m tryna hit the sheets, not the streets,” Tivona wrote in the video’s caption.

“Like babe, it’s already past my bedtime,” a TikToker commented.

According to Know Your Meme, the “I wanna go home” song originates from a Nigerian children’s gospel group, Destined Kids. The viral TikTok sound is a snippet from Destined Kids’ song, “It’s a Holiday.” Around the 18-second mark, one of the young singers in the video sings the famous line, as she wants to go home for the holidays to spend time with her parents.

TikToker Esosa found the perfect opportunity to take the snippet out of context and turn it into a viral meme. Esosa first posted the sound onto TikTok in early May, beginning the sound’s popular meme format.

The song snippet amused TikTokers who grew up watching Destined Kids’ videos; many took to the comments to express their nostalgia.

“This sound just dug up a very deep memory,” a TikToker commented.

“I remember having all the volumes,” another chimed in.

Reasons why TikTokers just want to go home

TikTokers keep coming up with more fun ways to use the “I wanna go home” song.

This video posted by TikToker Aceeca Don displays a very awkward date experience, leading to a fitting use of the song. Don describes that her date invited her to his house to watch a movie — on a very unusual (and concerning) screen setup.

Viewers found Don’s date’s makeshift TV hilarious.

“Netflix and chill on a budget I guess,” a TikToker joked.

“Not even a laptop, DAYUM,” someone added.

TikTok user Laura Vega also shared this video to make clever use of the sound to express the difficulty of maintaining a work-life balance while working remotely.

Other TikTokers related to Vega’s working pains.

“I felt this. And everyone says you’re already home though… but still, I wanna go home,” a TikTok user said.

“The amount of self-discipline it takes to work from home is insane. Ya girl out here struggling LOL,” another chimed in.
