Leah Halton on course to break TikTok most liked record

Leah Halton, the Australian model and TikTok celebrity is on course to set a new record for the most like TikTok video of all time, with her sing-along in the car to YG Marley’s Praise Jah in the Moonlight.

The current record for most like TikTok video is held by Bella Poarch, with a lip sync to ‘M to the B’ by British rap artist Millie B.

Leah Halton’s lip sync to YG Marley had 41.6 million likes at the time of publication, and is still picking up likes at a tremendous rate. In total the TikTok video has been seen over 550 million times. (Remember that’s not actually 550 million people, as folks may watch more than once).

Why is Halton’s TikTok of YG Marley’s Praise Jah in the Moonlight so successful?

Leah Halton’s TikTok of Praise Jah in the Moonlight is an instant classic of the lip sync genre. It starts with her trademark closeup of her face, looking a little confused, before looking cutely sideways and suddenly happy as the drums on the track come in. She then does her irresistible nose scrunch before panning out to start lip syncing to YG Marley. Add in a big smile as she sings and then a final play with her hair and it’s 12 second of TikTok perfection, which has gone utterly viral.

The 1.2 million comments include “How is someone that pretty?” and “Beautiful and perfect”, plus a huge amount noting just how viral the video is going.

How old is Leah Halton

Leah Halton is currently 23 years old. She goes by the name @looooooooch on TikTok, which she explains is because her name is Leah Lucia Halton, and she was usually called Lucia, which her family shorted to Luch. She was originally going to be just Luc on TikTok, but worried people would pronounce it as Luck, so went the full way to Loooooooooch with eight o’s.

She shares a birthday, January 6, with Rowan Atkinson, the English actor famous for Mr Bean.

Halton currently lives in Melbourne, Australia, though she travels all over the world for her content.

Halton has celiac disease, meaning she cannot eat gluten. While she was initially distraught at not being able to eat her favorite food, pasta, she now says the gluten-free versions are “just as good as normal food”.

How many followers does Leah Halton have

Halton currently has over 6.8 million followers on TikTok, 1.2 million on Instagram and 1.2 million on YouTube.

In addition to lip syncing she does make up tutorials and fashion ideas.

“These roads of flames are catching a-fire, ah!”

The full lyrics to the song are:

(They say the Sun)

(And it shines for all)

(But in some people world)

(It never shine at all)

These roads of flames are catchin’ on fire

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Showed you I love you, you called me a liar

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

Baby, tell me where you gone, gone, gone

I’ve been feelin’ for your love so long

We can praise Jah in the moonlight

Baby, if you with me, better do right

And I’ve been gone too long

And I’m hopin’ that you sing my songs (sing my songs)

I’ve been on this road for way too long

I’ve been hoping that we all get along

These roads of flames are catchin’ on fire

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Showed you I love you, you called me a liar

Give Jah the thanks and praises

I’ve been on my own all along

But we ain’t never left alone, ‘lone, ‘lone

And if I’m tellin’ you the feeling is wrong

Relax a little, friend, this won’t take too long

And when you’re feelin’ alone

You can call my phone

Is there a better way to go?

Teach them something before they lose their soul

Oh, no, no, no, freedom is the road

Oh, no, no, no, comin’ in from the cold

Tell them not to sell, it is worth more than gold

And guiltiness will catch them in the end

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

They’ll try to manipulate you through your pockets

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Now you’re callin’, gonna fuck with the optic, with the vision

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tryin’ to control your soul and take control, oh, no, no, no

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

No, we don’t play that game right here to win power

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Give Jah the thanks and praises

(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)

Give Jah all the thanks and praises

(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)

Yes, give Him the thanks and praises

Give Jah the thanks and praises

(Give Jah all the thanks and praises)

Give Jah the thanks and praises

(Give Jah all the thanks and praises) oh, oh

Give Jah the thanks and praises

Oh, woah, give Jah the thanks, the thanks

The thanks (praises), the thanks (praises)

The thanks (praises), the thanks (praises)

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks

Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks and praises (give Jah)

(Thanks and) give Jah the thanks and praises (praises)

(Give Jah thanks and praises, praises)

(Give Jah thanks and praises, praises)

(Give every bit to Him)

(Praises)

(Give every bit to Him)

(Praises)
