Hilary Duff’s ‘Come Clean’ Stumps TikTokers in Viral Challenge

by

On TikTok, there’s a wave of funny clips showing people attempting but failing to locate the rhythm in Hillary Duff’s popular 2003 song ‘Come Clean.’

The catchy tune “Popular” from Hilary Duff’s album Metamorphosis has inspired an internet sensation, encouraging people to try synchronizing their handclaps with its electronic pop rhythm and beats.

Yet, TikTok users soon find out that maintaining the beat is more challenging than it seems. The complex rhythm of the music trips up even the most self-assured participants.

Among the trending videos on TikTok, a post by user _skyegirl features her husband joyfully but out-of-sync clapping.

In the flow of things, I momentarily caught the beat, but unfortunately, it slipped away in the subsequent stanza. This particular video has garnered a staggering 9.4 million views and 393,000 likes, with Billie Eilish being one of those captivated by it.

A variety of TikTok users, particularly males, have taken part in this challenge, frequently resulting in humorous outcomes. For instance, content creator stephanie_ann_05 posted a video showing her husband trying intensely to the song’s chorus, clapping and tapping his foot, but ultimately giving up out of exasperation.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that while many struggle to find the rhythm, those with a musical background truly shine. As a drummer myself, I’ve been able to leverage my understanding of music theory to excel at gaming rhythms. It’s amazing how my skills translate!

In a video shared by miss_c_lauren, a father who is also a drummer taps along flawlessly in rhythm with his little boy. Similarly, katysergent’s husband, another skilled drummer, received applause for synchronizing his clapping to the beat, garnering over 4.3 million views on her post.

Starting from late February 2025, the ‘Come Clean’ tune has found its way into more than 17,000 TikTok clips, and this number keeps growing. Fans are eager to see Hilary Duff respond to or participate in the challenge herself.
