Sara Kays is an American singer-songwriter who grew up busking in Carmel, Indiana, before moving to Nashville and posting her music online. Her breakthrough came in the most contemporary way: "Remember That Night?", released in 2020, was a tender, detailed song of post-breakup wistfulness that she was encouraged to finish after posting a snippet on TikTok, where it went viral.
The song's success led to a network television debut and marked her as a gifted, confessional young writer. But her later releases have not matched its reach, and the rest of her catalogue sits behind it.
On streaming, "Remember That Night?" sits near 466 million plays, while her next most-streamed track, "Home for the Summer", trails at around 48 million. That puts the ratio above 9, well past our 5.0 line.
So by our measure, for now, Sara Kays is a certified one-hit wonder, with the firm caveat that applies to a young, developing songwriter. The verdict reflects the streaming shape of an early career, in which one quietly devastating, TikTok-lifted song has pulled far ahead of everything else she has released so far.
