Tiktok Trend - Pov: When You Have A Mixed Playlist - June 2025

The “POV: when you have a mixed playlist” trend started gaining traction in June 2025 and quickly became a favorite on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

It’s funny, super relatable, and shows just how much music can affect our mood — especially when your playlist jumps from sad to hype without warning.

If you love music, humor, or showing your personality, this trend is a great one to try.

What’s this trend all about?

This trend plays with the emotional rollercoaster of listening to a mixed playlist. It starts with a dramatic, emotional song (like “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars), and then suddenly switches to an energetic rap beat (usually with the “DaVinci” producer tag). The video follows the music — going from sadness to hype in seconds.

The sound that most people use is called original sound by pawhlow.

What kind of videos people are making

  • Example 1: A guy in a car wiping away tears before switching to hype dancing when the beat drops.
  • Example 2: A teen in his room looking sad, then jumping into dancing as the music changes.
  • Example 3: Someone dramatically clutching their chest in a bathroom, then hyped and dancing moments later.

Want to use it? Here’s the step-by-step

  • Find the trending audio on TikTok and save it.
  • Pick a location with good lighting — a car, bedroom, or hallway works great.
  • Film yourself looking sad or emotional for the first part of the sound.
  • As soon as the beat changes (around 0:08), switch your expression and start dancing, lip syncing, or just vibing hard.
  • Add a text overlay like “You hurting but you have a mixed playlist” or “POV: you got a mixed playlist.”
  • Use hashtags like #mixedplaylist #playlistvibes #musicmood #POV #foryoupage.

When it works best (and why)

This trend works great when the mood switch is clear and funny. Viewers love the contrast and the surprise. Here’s what makes it work:

  • Big facial expressions: make the sadness obvious, then switch to pure energy.
  • Perfect timing with the music change — sync is everything.
  • Use the exact trending sound for better visibility.
  • Clear, readable text on screen so the joke lands fast.

When it doesn’t work (and why)

Some videos miss the mark. Here’s what to avoid:

  • The acting feels too flat or not dramatic enough — lean into the emotions.
  • The switch isn’t timed right — it feels awkward instead of fun.
  • The lighting is too dark or the camera is shaky — makes it hard to follow.
  • Using a different sound — people scroll past if they don’t recognize the trend.
