How TikTok Revived Skales’ Old Hit in 2025

TikTok is one of the most used social media platforms over the years, and currently, this incredible video-sharing platform has given a lot of music artists global audience right from their country because of the amazing features that come with the social media platform, which are quite different from other social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others.

A lot of Nigerian music artists have made it big on the popular video-sharing platform since it was launched a few years ago.

Although TikTok is one of the youngest social media platforms, it has also made a significant impact on several individuals and brands, which is why millions of people make use of the social media platform every day, not just in Nigeria but other countries of the world.

TikTok Brings Back a Classic

In this article, I’m going to explain in detail how TikTok revived Skales’ old hit songs in 2025.

Skales is a popular Nigerian singer and songwriter who came into the limelight in the Nigerian music industry when he was signed to banking with record label, EME, alongside the Grammy-winning Nigerian music artist Wizkid.

Under Banky W’s record label, he dropped several music projects under the platform of the label alongside Wizkid.

Just like Wizkid left the EME recording label, Skales also left to start working on his own music career, himselfing as an independent music artist in Nigeria. Skales has dropped several music projects, from EP to album and singles. He was able to succeed and make a name for himself in the Nigerian music industry.

The Rise of “Shake Body” Again

Years ago, Skales dropped a song that was a hit and increased his popularity as a music artist in the Nigerian music industry. The title of the song is Shake Body.

When he released the song, TikTok was not available at that time, and it succeeded commercially not just in Nigeria but the whole continent of Africa.

The old song started to trend again on TikTok a few weeks ago when FC Barcelona won the Copa Del Rey against Real Madrid, and the players were celebrating with the song. That is how it was revived, and thousands of people started to make videos with the song.

Skales, the popular Nigerian music artist, is now trending again — this time not just in Nigeria or the African continent but globally, because a lot of Europeans and Americans on TikTok started dancing to the music. This helped him to revive his career in the Nigerian music industry because he is no longer as popular as before. Some even think that he has stopped making music.
