By leveraging TikTok, aligning with key cultural moments, and tapping into a strong song narrative, Warren turned his track into a viral hit. Here's a breakdown of his strategy:

From TikTok Influencer to UK’s No.1 Single 🤳📈

  • Leveraging TikTok for Pre-Release Buzz 🌍: Alex Warren's TikTok campaign started on January 6, 2025, gaining over 120M views before the February 7 release. This early buzz led to 114.3K TikTok posts engaging with the song after its official release.

  • Strategic Release Timing 🕓: “Ordinary” was released just before Valentine’s Day, aligning with its romantic themes and maximizing relevance. The timing, following his December 2024 collaboration with Joe Jonas on “Burning Down,” also helped Warren maintain visibility and capitalize on momentum.
