About
The Moment I Realized I Could Sing refers to a series of videos purportedly showcasing the moment the subject being filmed learned they could sing, often showing the person singing a little, stopping and realizing they have a good voice, then continuing to sing. The videos are largely ironic in nature and tend to feature someone who cannot actually sing. They are based on a comedy video posted in June 2022 by TikToker @thomboi__. A trend based on the video was popularized on TikTok in May 2024 in which users sang the song "In The Bible" by Drake, also known as "I Did My Dance One Time On TikTok and Went Viral With It," while referencing the original viral video.
Origin
On June 4th and 19th, 2022, TikToker[1][2] and comedian @thomboi__ posted parts one and two of a video captioned, "The moment I realized I could sing I can't believe I got it on video," garnering over 15.8 million and 11 million views, respectively, in two years (shown below, left and right). In the videos, the TikToker sings a segment of a song ("Eye of the Tiger" and "Jumper" respectively) then stops and reacts with shock, seemingly noticing their vocal talents for the first time.
