A.ME, the predecessor of TikTok, stood for “Adore Me” in English and symbolized the unbeatable spirit of the post-90s and post-2000s generations. Launched in September 2016, it underwent a rebranding in December of the same year and became known as “TikTok”. The new name was not only easier to comprehend but also more memorable. TikTok directly caters to the young generation as a music-oriented short video community.
