Corook has officially released their viral song “if i were a fish,” featuring Olivia Barton.
Just two weeks ago, the artist sat down with Barton and jammed out a tune to cope with an emotional day. Within 10 minutes they came up with the song “if i were a fish” and shared a preview of the song to TikTok. With a bright green bucket hat shaped like a frog and two beaming smiles the friends sang together, and the clip was quick to go viral with now over 2 million likes and a stream of positive comments.
Corook’s caption read, “I was having a very emotional day, feeling insecure and out of place. So I cried to Olivia and after feeling through it, we wrote this song in 10 minutes to remember the joy in being different.”
