Tiktok Trend - I Don’T Wanna Be Someone’S Fine Shyt - May 2025

The “I don’t wanna be someone’s fine shyt” trend started popping up in May 2025 and quickly took off on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

It’s moody, romantic, and deeply relatable — perfect for anyone who’s ever wanted to be loved for who they are, not just how they look or what they offer on the surface.

If your content is emotional, personal, or storytelling-based, this trend will fit right in.

What’s this trend all about?

The trend uses the phrase: “I don’t want to be someone’s [shallow label], I want to be someone’s [deep connection].”

It’s about longing for meaning and emotional connection, instead of being seen as just physically attractive or temporary. It’s paired with emotional visuals and powerful audio that drive the message home.

The sound used in most of these videos is “original sound – SpotifySounds”. It adds drama and feeling to the visuals.

What kind of videos people are making

  • Example 1: A person leans out of a moving car window at sunset with lyrics from “Iris” playing. The text reads: “i don’t want to be somebody’s fine shyt, i want to be someone’s iris.”
  • Example 2: A girl poses inside a van, with dramatic audio about someone named “Julie.” The text says: “I don’t want to be someone’s ‘fine shyt’, I want to be someone’s Julie.”

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

  • Think about your “specific” — who or what do you want to be to someone? Iris? Julie? Their peace? Their lighthouse? Make it personal.
  • Choose the trending sound or another emotional audio that fits.
  • Film a short video clip — maybe you looking out a window, walking through a beautiful place, or simply staring into the camera with emotion.
  • Add the text: “I don’t want to be someone’s [shallow label], I want to be someone’s [meaningful name or role].”
  • Use clean, visible fonts. Keep the text on screen long enough to be read easily.
  • Add a caption like “We all deserve to be someone’s iris.” Use hashtags like #someonesiris #fineShyt #deepconnection #trendingsound #fyp

When it works best (and why)

This trend shines when it feels genuine and emotional.

  • The contrast in your text is strong — people feel the difference between “fine shyt” and “someone’s iris.”
  • Your video has a moody or beautiful vibe — sunset, slow motion, cozy lighting, etc.
  • You use the exact audio that others are using — this helps with visibility.
  • Your message hits a relatable feeling — longing, love, emotional intimacy.
  • You respond to comments or ask viewers what they’d want to be to someone.

When it doesn’t work (and why)

Here are a few things that might make this trend fall flat:

  • The contrast in your text doesn’t make sense or isn’t clear enough.
  • The video feels random or doesn’t match the emotion of the sound.
  • Your visuals are too busy or low quality — this trend needs some aesthetic pull.
  • Your text is hard to read or disappears too quickly.
  • You don’t use trending audio — this can affect how your video performs.
