About
The “Freaky Friday” Trend is a TikTok trend set to a portion of the song “Freaky Friday” by meme rapper and artist Lil Dicky, beginning with Ed Sheeran singing, “And now I’m in Ed Sheeran’s body.” The trend involves sharing a stylized compilation of a specific character under altered versions of the lyrics to the song about being placed into the body of said character — a reference to the plot of the films Freaky Friday and Freakier Friday. It was popularized in mid-August 2025 around the release of Freakier Friday, inspiring numerous memes over the following weeks.
Origin
On August 14th, 2025, TikToker @me_w1ns posted a video featuring a compilation of footage of the character Ramona Flowers (played by actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead) from Scott Pilgrim and Ian McKinley (Kris Lemche) from Final Destination 3 over the song “Freaky Friday” by Lil Dicky. Altered lyrics appear on the screen as the song plays, changing the names to fit the shown characters. The video gained over 5,900 views in a week and is the earliest known version of the trend.
