When a Spanish Song Took Over My TikTok

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28, 2025: I’m honestly overwhelmed by the amazing response to my video featuring Amira Syahira’s latest song, No Toques Mi Corazon.

For a Malaysian to compose and perform a song entirely in Spanish — that’s no small feat. What a talent!

As of 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct 28, my video has hit 100,000 views — a personal record — with 4,600 likes.

I can’t believe it! Looks like I’m catching a little wave of TikTok fame myself, thanks to this beautifully captivating Spanish song.

The comments have been pouring in, and I’m honestly so touched. Some fans have even reposted my video, while others have turned Amira’s song into their ringtone. And yes, I’ve joined the fun too — No Toques Mi Corazon is now my ringtone!

What amazes me most is how far this “Spanish fever” has spread. I’ve seen groups using her song for exercise routines, sharing their videos with so much energy and joy. A few TikTokers even tried lip-syncing or singing the song themselves. It’s like the whole world’s dancing to the same beat!

I also found out that Amira has been polishing her Spanish with her Latin fans and friends — she even has a WhatsApp group with them! No wonder her pronunciation sounds so natural. One fan commented that her Spanish sounded just like a native speaker’s — and I couldn’t agree more.

Of course, there are always skeptics. Some Malaysians insisted that it couldn’t be her, that it must be AI. But come on — if it were AI, would her song really reach #18 on iTunes Malaysia? That’s pure talent, not technology.

A Little About Amira Syahira

Nur Amira Syahira Azizul Abidin, born on April 25, 2003, in Penang, is a talented drummer, musician, host, singer, and actress. She’s now making her mark on the international stage, especially through her achievements in the Hit Like A Girl Contest and her growing YouTube following.

What’s truly inspiring is how she started. Amira began playing drums at just eight years old — completely self-taught. She learned everything online, watching tutorials on YouT
ube without a teacher or formal music lessons.

From there, she began recording drum covers and sharing them online, picking up techniques from some of the best drummers around the world.

And now, years later, she’s evolved from a little girl with a drum kit to a confident young artiste breaking language and cultural barriers with her Spanish single, No Toques Mi Corazon.

Reflections

Every time I listen to this song, I feel a quiet sense of pride. Watching a Malaysian artiste like Amira push boundaries and captivate the world — it reminds me that passion knows no language.

As I scroll through the countless comments and videos inspired by her song, I realise that creativity connects us in ways we never expect.

Maybe that’s the magic of music — it speaks directly to the heart, no matter where you come from or what language you speak. ❤
