TikTok Singer’s Version of “Springsteen” Is Taking the Internet by Storm

A TikTok singer reimagines Eric Church's 'Springsteen' from a female perspective, captivating fans and earning praise from Eric himself, sparking hopes for a full version.

Eric Church’s Springsteen isn’t just a song—it’s a feeling.

It’s the track that instantly transports you back to when love was young, summer nights felt endless, and a single song could define an entire moment in your life. Originally released in 2012 as the third single from his breakthrough album Chief, “Springsteen” became one of Church’s signature hits. It shot to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and has since been certified 7x Platinum—an undeniable classic.

A rising artist on TikTok named Emmy Moyen has given the song a fresh twist, rewriting it from the girl’s perspective. The internet is eating it up, and even Eric Church (or someone from his team) reposted her video on his official TikTok.

Safe to say—this one’s hitting people hard.

A New Perspective on a Classic Song

While “Springsteen” tells the story of a teenage romance through the eyes of a young man, Moyen’s rewrite flips the script, imagining how the girl in the song might have felt hearing their song years later.

Here’s a snippet of her version:

"When I think about you,
I want back 17,
Riding shotgun in your Jeep,
When you compared the stars to my eyes.
I'll turn back on that melody,
If you wanna remake a memory,
Dancing in the dark on the radio that night,
Springsteen,
Oh, Springsteen."

It’s brilliantly done—keeping the heart of the original while adding a new depth of nostalgia. Suppose Church’s version makes you reminisce about your first love. In that case, Moyen’s take might have you wondering what they remember about you.

The Internet Is Losing It

As soon as Church’s official TikTok account reposted the video, the comments flooded in:

“Ok drop it now.”

“Eric Church reposted!! I love this!!”

“Suddenly I’m back in that Jeep Cherokee.”

“Oh just rip my heart out, I guess.”

“This just made me start crying. Thank you for this.”

“Full version PLEASE.”

People aren’t just liking the song—they’re begging for a full version.

And honestly? It makes so much sense. There’s something incredibly powerful about hearing both sides of a love story, especially one already packed with nostalgia.

Will We Get a Full Version?

Moyen hasn’t said whether she’ll record and release a full version. However, the response so far is any indication. In that case, she’d have a built-in audience ready to stream it the second it drops.

Artists reimagining hit songs from the opposite perspective isn’t new—Taylor Swift famously did it with “The Other Side of the Door,” and more recently, Kameron Marlowe flipped Morgan Wallen’s “Sand in My Boots” into “Steady Heart.”

But this? This feels special. It could be because Springsteen is already so deeply personal for many fans. Or it could be because Emmy Moyen’s voice and delivery are just that good.

Either way, if she doesn’t record the full thing soon, someone will have to start a petition.

Don’t miss the TikTok sensation everyone’s talking about—hear the viral ‘Springsteen’ cover that’s capturing hearts worldwide!
