The Viral Surge: By the Numbers
Before a single official note drops, Libianca’s upcoming track has sparked a TikTok wildfire:

- A raw snippet of “People” appeared on A&R exec Melanie Ijieh’s “For You Page,” leading to a 5K Records signing 3.
- The song’s vulnerability about depression and isolation (“I’ve been drinking more alcohol for the past five days“) resonated universally 916.
- Global Domination:
- Peaked at #2 on UK charts, #1 in Nigeria, and top 10 in 15+ countries 312.
- 315K+ UK sales and 200M+ Spotify streams across versions 3.

The Independent Edge: Why Libianca’s Strategy Could Win
Per user hints, Libianca’s “independent streak” aligns with her career-defining ethos:
- Artistic Control: She creates “music that feeds the soul,” avoiding trends for raw truth-telling 12.
- Fan-Led Growth: As she told GRM Daily: “Music is the gateway to people’s souls” prioritizing connection over algorithms 12.
- Vulnerability as Superpower: Her openness about cyclothymia (a mood disorder) in “People” built deep trust; this new snippet’s emotional pull suggests similar authenticity 9.
Industry insiders note her instinct for cultural moments. 5K Records co-president Kilo Jalloh observed: “Marketing [‘People’] has been fairly easy the song does most of the work” 3.
The TikTok Effect: How Organic Virality Changes the Game
TikTok has demolished traditional release cycles:
- Pre-Release Hype: Songs now chart before official drops (e.g., “People” entered the Top 10 weeks after TikTok virality) 9.
- Remix Ecosystem: “People” spawned Ayra Starr/Omah Lay and Cian Ducrot remixes, extending its lifespan 3.
- Algorithm as A&R: 5K Records’ Melanie Ijieh scouts talent via TikTok: “I had no clue who Libianca was; [the snippet] just came up on my For You Page” 3.
With 40K+ creates pre-release, Libianca’s new song has already cleared the first hurdle: proving audience demand.
Promotion Imperatives: Capitalizing on the Hype
To surpass “People,” strategic rollout is critical:
- Leverage Early Creators:
- Reward top TikTok users with exclusives (e.g., voice memos, studio access).
- Multi-Format Release:
- Drop “sped up,” “slowed down,” and remix versions day one a tactic that boosted “People” streams by 37% 3.
- Authentic Engagement:
- Libianca’s call for kindness (“Don’t go having Twitter fingers!“) fosters community loyalty 12.
Could This Be Bigger Than “People”?
Signs point to yes:
- Stronger Launchpad: In 2022, Libianca was unknown; now she’s a BET Award winner with 15M+ monthly Spotify listeners 12.
- Expanded Sound: Recent tracks like “Jah” blend Afrobeats with soul and R&B, widening her appeal 12.
- Global Infrastructure: Independent doesn’t mean alone distro deals can mirror 5K’s Sony-backed global push (“We’re talking about a potential Latin remix“) 3.
As Libianca herself declared: “I want people to remember everything that my music made them feel” 12. This new wave of pre-release emotion suggests she’s done it again.
