TikTokers have seized on the line “Help, I’m still at the restaurant” from the song, using it metaphorically to describe their own romantic experiences. The trend involves users sharing their personal stories of being “at the restaurant” or finally moving on from it.
The slowed-down version of the song, posted @favsoundds, has received significant attention and inspired over 1,300 videos using the “restaurant” metaphor. The term has become a catch-all for the emotions and struggles associated with a breakup or lingering feelings for a past partner.
