“Open” – a new song from multi-platinum global superstar Khalid that encourages listeners to seize the moment, embrace their loved ones and share the love with those around them – soundtracks the #ShareTheMagic challenge. Khalid’s celebration of openness and togetherness embodies the “Real Magic” message, which reminds people that magic lives in the unexpected moments of connection when people unite over what they have in common or embrace unique perspectives.
“TikTok has made its mark on pop culture by bringing people together to celebrate creativity in authentic ways, which is what the #ShareTheMagic challenge is all about,” said Richard Toranzo, Social Center Director, Coca‑Cola North America Operating Unit.
“Given the brand’s longstanding ties to music and the principles of the ‘Real Magic’ platform, we see this as a great opportunity to join the TikTok community in a way that aligns with our core values.”
Jalaiah Harmon, an Atlanta-based dancer and creative artist, choreographed an original dance to “Open” to serve as inspiration. Harmon created one of the first viral dances on TikTok (“the Renegade”) at age 14, but never received credit. Coca-Cola also will contract a diverse group of influencers to promote the #ShareTheMagic challenge and elevate their content to inspire interpretations of “Real Magic.” The brand will compensate all contracted creators as part of a commitment to provide members of the TikTok community, who are the engine of the platform’s popularity, with the visibility and recognition they deserve.
