Grammy-winning singer Muni Long, of Gifford, performs viral single on 'The Tonight Show'
Muni Long performed her new single, “Made For Me” on "The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon" Feb. 27.
“Made For Me” is Long’s latest single and it's been climbing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 23, and has spent six weeks on the chart. This single is her first release since her 2022 album “Public Displays of Affection: The Album.”
She released this single on Sept.15, 2023, which has amassed more than 35 million streams on Spotify and has gone viral on TikTok in recent weeks.
Who is Muni Long?
Long, whose real name is Priscilla Renea Hamilton, is no stranger to the music scene. For more than a decade, the 35-year-old singer-songwriter has been penning some of the biggest hits for artists like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and Madonna.
She snagged her first Grammy in 2023 in the Best R&B Performance category for her song "Hrs & Hrs", beating Beyoncé's performance of "Virgo's Groove" off her 2022 album "Renaissance."
Growing up in Gifford, she kept to herself, but her talents were never something she was sheepish about. She was always singing at home, at funerals, at Riverside Children's Theatre and musical productions at Vero Beach High School, where she graduated in 2006.
What is the 'Made For Me' trend on TikTok?
TikTok users have taken a verse from “Made For Me” where Long sings, “Twin, where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do.” It's become a trend with people showing themselves lip-synching and dancing showing off their partner or best friends.
Some people put a twist on the trend, showing their “twin” being an ex-partner they broke up with years ago and getting back together with them or seeing a best friend after a few days or months.
Even stars like Camila Cabello, Chloe and Halle Bailey and Normani have joined the trend sharing videos of them singing along to the song.
