The Rolling Stones are back on Gen Z’s mood boards thanks to a clever throwback and a juicy TV moment that sent their hit “Wild Horses” galloping up trend charts again.
On Sunday, August 17, the iconic rock band dropped a TikTok that felt like a blast from the past. A text overlay read, “POV: It’s 1969 in Alabama. After 3 intense days in the studio, you hear ‘Wild Horses’ played back for the very first time…” set against footage that looked like archival film. The caption doubled down on the nostalgia: “First played back in ’69 at Muscle Shoals ? Still breaking hearts in 2025…Wild Horses run forever ?✨.”

♬ Wild Horses - The Rolling StonesThe timing couldn’t have been better. Just weeks earlier, The Summer I Turned Pretty’s long-awaited “peach scene” finally hit screens.
In Season 3 of Prime Video’s hit series (based on Jenny Han’s bestselling trilogy), Belly (played by Lola Tung) takes a slow, juice-dripping bite of a peach as ex-love Conrad (Christopher Briney) watches, transfixed. When he steps forward to wipe her chin — with “Wild Horses” swelling in the background — the scene instantly joined the ranks of iconic teen-TV history.
