This audio comes from Waiting For Love by Avicii, released in 2015. Online, the opening lyric became a standalone meme because it perfectly sums up the slump people joke about at the start of the week. Short uploads of just that line spread across TikTok, reels, and meme edits, often over footage of sleepy faces, failed routines, or back-to-work scenes. It stays popular because the phrase is instantly recognizable, easy to caption, and flexible enough for both sincere and ironic posts.
About this sound
A short clip of the lyric "Monday left me broken" from Avicii's Waiting For Love, widely used in memes and Monday mood edits online.
This sound is the opening lyric from Avicii's song Waiting For Love, clipped to the memorable line about Monday feeling rough. It has a bright, emotional EDM-pop tone, but the words land with a tired, defeated mood that instantly reads as relatable. That contrast is why it works so well in memes: the polished, dramatic delivery makes everyday stress feel bigger and funnier. People use it for Monday posts, sleepy reaction edits, and videos about going back to work, school, or reality after a good weekend.
