If you’ve been browsing TikTok recently, you’ve probably heard the ‘sweet girl’ song sweeping the app. But where does the song come from, and why is it so popular?

Of course, the main part of the song that won’t get out of everyone’s heads is the ‘Sweet Giiiirl,’ line — but Father Philis’s unique voice, paired with the song’s risque lyrics, is also leaving netizens with a laugh and a smile.
The actual song is just called ‘Face Beat’ and was created by Barbadian internet star Father Philis.
