Malcolm Todd fans may also like "Sue Me" by Audrey Hobert — Todd's sister — and "Bloodstream" by Alyssa Grace, another 2026 viral breakthrough.

Earrings by Malcolm Todd is the TikTok-viral sleeper hit from his 2024 mixtape Sweet Boy (Columbia). After opening the mixtape's tracklist, it exploded in early 2026 and headed to US pop radio that April — a delicate guitar line carrying a confessional refrain about a lost earring and a love drifting apart.

Earrings Lyrics

[Chorus]
Her love is in your head
You lost your earrings in her bed
You couldn't tell her that you lost 'em
'Cause you're scared and you're not talking
So you think of what to say
Then save it for another day
'Cause you just never had the heart
Now they just drift further apart

[Bridge]
From you, oh
From you, oh​
From you, oh​​
From you, oh​​​

[Chorus]​
Her love is in your head​
You lost your earrings in her bed​
You couldn't tell her that you lost 'em​
'Cause you're scared and you're not talking​
So you think of what to say​
Then save it for another day​
'Cause you just never had the heart​
Now they just drift further apart​

[Refrain]
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it​
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it​
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it​​
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it​​
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it​​​
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it​​​

[Bridge]​
From you, oh​​​​
From you, oh​​​​​

[Refrain]​
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it​​​​
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it​​​​
(From you, oh) Extra, extra, read all about it​​​​​
Mac is in his feelings and he can't get out of it​​​​​
Can't get out of it, can't get out of it

[Outro]
Okay, well, I hope you like my mixtape
