Abut Jason Derulo's new song, Savage love

Tik Tok has given its users a new platform to share their talents like singing and dancing. New talents from different parts of the world have been dominating the platform with their videos that have gained a massive fan following. One of them happens to be Joshua Nanai, a 17-year-old high school student from Auckland. He had shared a small video that salutes his Samoan and Cook Island heritage with the song by referencing “685”. Initially, Jason had shared the song without giving credit to the New Zealand teen. This certainly sparked outrage from Nanai’s fans as they certainly hoped to see some credit for Joshua Nanai. Soon Derulo’s next post about the song credited Nanai and his beat in the caption. It stated, “Had fun remixing @jawsh_685 siren beat #SavageLove summer vibes”. He also tagged the singer in the post and wrote, “@jawsh_685 killed this beat”. Just with these two videos, Jason successfully managed to attract millions of viewers that absolutely love his new song, Savage Love
