Megan Boni, also known as Girl on Couch, has taken the internet by storm with her viral TikTok song that pokes fun at the concept of an “ideal man”. The 27-year-old New Yorker’s catchy tune has garnered over 40 million views and inspired countless remixes and parodies, including one by Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas.
Despite the song’s success, Megan insists that she’s not actually looking for a tall banker with a deep wallet, as the lyrics suggest. In fact, she created the song out of dating app fatigue and a desire to mock the unrealistic standards set by such platforms.
Now, Megan is set to release a single recorded alongside superstar DJ David Guetta, with hopes of storming the charts. While she’s not particularly interested in pursuing a music career, she has signed a publishing deal with Universal Music Group, allowing her to earn royalties from the song.
Despite her newfound success, Megan remains humble and focused on her true passions of acting and comedy. She dreams of one day appearing on Saturday Night Live and is grateful for the unexpected turn her life has taken.
As Megan continues to ride the wave of her viral hit, she remains grounded and grateful for the opportunities that have come her way. Her story serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of internet fame and the power of a catchy tune to capture the hearts of millions.
