Why it worked

This post likely performed well due to the celebrity factor of Tom Holland and Zendaya, combined with a humorous and relatable moment of them not knowing a song by one of their own group members. The "gotcha" journalism angle also adds an element of intrigue.

Summary

A journalist asks Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon to finish the lyrics to Zendaya's song "Replay," which they are unable to do. Zendaya then reveals it's her song and teases them about their lack of knowledge.

Journalist: Who is most likely to be able to finish the lyrics to one of the most iconic songs of all time? The lyrics are: “Don't stop, don't move, just keep it there, keep it right there.” I don't know I have no idea. That's my song guys. Yeah. That's "Replay." You think you know someone, ya know? That was the... wrong reaction. I'll be holding that over your head for a loooong time.

Original caption

During a recent interview with Pedestrian TV, a journalist quizzed Tom Holland and Jacob Batalon on the lyrics to Zendaya's 2000s hit single "Replay," and they failed. Batalon described the incident as "gotcha journalism," with Holland conceding that the journalist had asked a "great question." The interview was conducted to promote "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," which premieres in theaters on July 31. #SpiderMan #Zendaya #TomHolland #Interview #Replay Credits: Pedestrian TV
