Tiktok Trend - We Are Sorry, You Have Lost Your Memory - May 2025

The “We’re sorry, you have lost your memory” trend started spreading fast in May 2025 and has become a major hit on TikTok and Instagram Reels.

It’s emotional, funny, and weirdly comforting. It plays with the idea of forgetting the hardest years of your life — and feeling relieved about it.

If your content is personal, relatable, or comedy-focused, this trend is a great fit for you.

What’s this trend all about?

This trend uses the text “We’re sorry, but due to the injury, you’ve lost memory of the last [X] years.” Then, the person in the video reacts — not with sadness, but with joy, relief, or even .

The key moment happens when the dramatic choir part of the song WAR IS OVERRR by sarah🦇 hits. The music swells and the person’s face lights up — it’s funny, ironic, and very satisfying to watch.

What kind of videos people are making

  • Example 1: A man in headphones hears he’s lost memory of the past 5 years. He slowly smiles and covers his face in relief.
  • Example 2: A girl in a hoodie hears she forgot the last 2 years. She reacts with pure joy and even throws her fists in the air.
  • Example 3: A guy in purple lighting looks worried at first — then slowly smiles and looks away, clearly relieved.

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

  • Pick a number of years you want to “forget” — usually 2 to 5 years.
  • Add the audio “WAR IS OVERRR” to your video. Make sure it’s the exact trending version.
  • Film yourself sitting or looking thoughtful. Add the text: “We’re sorry, but because of the injury, you’ve lost memory of the last [X] years.”
  • As the music swells (the dramatic choir part), change your facial expression from confused to happy or relieved.
  • Your reaction should peak right at the loudest part of the music. That’s the hook!
  • Keep your caption simple. Something like “Best news ever 😭” or “Finally free 🙌” works great. Use tags like #memoryloss #warisover #sothisischristmas #relatable #trend

When it works best (and why)

This trend hits hard when it feels personal — but also funny or ironic.

  • Your facial expressions are clear and change at the right moment
  • The reaction matches the music perfectly
  • You pick a timeframe people can relate to (like the pandemic years)
  • The setup is simple — just you, your face, and some good lighting

When it doesn’t work (and why)

Here’s what to avoid if you want your video to land well:

  • Making the joke too literal or adding too many personal details
  • Reacting too early or too late — timing is everything
  • Using a different version of the song that’s not trending
  • Making the memory loss look serious or scary — keep it light and obviously fake
  • Letting the text flash too quickly — viewers need time to read
