According to Spotify's list of Viral Trending TikTok Songs, a dance/techno cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" from Norwegian DJ and producer Braaheim, Swedish producer Ilyaa and singer Emmy was added to the list this month. (Though Emmy is also Norwegian, she's known for representing Ireland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with the song "Laika Party.")

While the song is currently at #82 on the list of trending TikTok tunes, it's not clear exactly why it's charting at the moment, as the cover appears to have been released in 2024. However, Braaheim is represented elsewhere on the list by a variety of other tracks, including "Like it Like (Yee-Haw)," "Black Betty," "Tell Me Why" and "Paradise." Clearly, the music pro has a flair for putting all new spins on classic hits; Edm.com praised Braaheim, saying "his affinity for producing intoxicating covers is unmatched, taking on a wide array of genres — like slap and tech house to progressive — and making them his own."
'Behind Blue Eyes' started out as part of a rock opera
In the book The Who by Numbers: The Story of the Who Through Their Music, Townshend shared some of the song's background story, explaining, “‘Behind Blue Eyes’ really is off the wall because that was a song sung by the villain of the piece [Jumbo], the fact that he felt in the original story that he was forced into a position of being a villain whereas he felt he was a good guy.”
No one knows what it’s likeTo be the bad manTo be the sad manBehind blue eyes
But my dreams, they aren’t as emptyAs my conscience seems to beI have hours, only lonelyMy love is vengeance that’s never free
