“Put Your Head on My Shoulder” was written and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Paul Anka in August 1958 and released in 1959. The song became very successful, reaching number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The B-side was “Don’t Ever Leave Me.”

The hit song quickly resurfaced with the help of the famous dance app TikTok through a challenge called the Silhouette Challenge. The song is featured while people pose with the help of a red filter that makes them appear as a silhouette.
