And while many people utilize social media as an outlet to overcome personal struggles, TikTok has become a great resource. Users are able to connect with millions of individuals through videos and can even find support. So, it’s no surprise that the Daylight TikTok Challenge has become a hit with users on the app.

So, what is the Daylight TikTok Challenge?

It’s super common to come across TikTok challenges that are often coupled with some of the hottest songs on the charts. And when it comes to the Daylight challenge, it’s inspired by Joji and Diplo’s song with the same title.

The song discusses the feeling of being hopeless at the end of a relationship and going through all the motions. However, with the TikTok challenge, users are putting their own spin to it by highlighting their insecurities and personal struggles to the melody of the song.

Not to mention, it also helps creators realize that they are not alone in their struggles — which is something that most people feel. And that revelation is powerful within itself.

You do the Daylight TikTok Challenge by first talking about your struggles, then sharing how you've overcome them.

The beauty about TikTok is that you can make the thousands of challenges your very own. And while it’s important to follow the central idea of said trend, it always helps to add your own flair into the mix.

To kick things off, you’ll want to start the video with a gloomy or sad feel. This is when you’ll talk about your anxiety or struggles that you’re dealing with. It's also a great idea to play with lighting to add a bit of drama to your video.
