Empty Pinata’s latest single “TikTok Girl” is a playful yet honest reflection of growing up in today’s digital world. It’s dreamy, mellow, and full of personality — a mix of humor, emotion, and subtle social commentary. The track paints a vivid picture of a girl glued to her phone, lost in trends and screens, while the narrator watches from the sidelines, caught somewhere between affection and frustration.
The song draws from Empty Pinata’s real-life experiences, touching on the kind of youthful chaos many people can relate to — driving around aimlessly, experimenting with substances, catching feelings, and getting ghosted. It’s modern teenage nostalgia, told through a lens that feels both funny and a little sad. The lyric “bowl in her hand” cleverly plays with double meanings, referencing both weed and comfort food, adding a laid-back, slightly psychedelic tone to the storytelling. “TikTok Girl” floats in that sweet spot between mellow bedroom pop and lo-fi psychedelia. The production is hazy but clean, built on dreamy synths and smooth vocals that make the song feel like a late-night drive soundtrack. It’s simple but carefully done — every sound has purpose, and the relaxed energy fits the story perfectly.
Empty Pinata, the artist alter ego of Alejandro, brings a unique creative background into his music. Having worked as a photographer, director, and creative developer, he uses visuals and sound to craft an artistic world that’s strange, funny, and deeply personal. “TikTok Girl” isn’t just a song — it’s a snapshot of modern love and distraction, told with honesty and charm.
