In her viral Tik Tok video, Smith strums a ukulele, switching between chords before abruptly breaking out into a nervous and cathartic screech. The song is meant to depict the pent-up frustration people are feeling in the wake of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown measures around the globe. After going viral on Tik Tok the Smith and her song were covered by publications including Today.com, Yahoo! News, and The Poke. [1] [3] [2]
Smith said:
"So I started making TikToks around early March, I didn't really start making the regularly until my school decided that we were going to go to distance learning, but with this particular TikTok I remember being very frustrated with the way distance learning had been going so far and the original plan was to write a song that had words, but really all that came out was screaming."[6]
In her viral video, Liz explains:
The video has up to 20,000 likes and was even shared by author Brené Brown, who wrote:
Smith says the teacher colleagues have told her they appreciate the video too:
"They've loved it, all the teachers that have talked to me or have commented on my post, they've said thank you this is absolutely relatable, you've put into words how I feel about online teaching too, and I'm glad that I was able to express how they're feeling as well."[6]
