The latest Aidan Gallagher memes are in the form of “Live-Action Cast Release” TikToks. These videos typically see TikTokers sharing their fake casting announcements with photos of various celebrities performed to Børns‘ “Electric Love” mixed into Gallagher’s “She.”
Baby, you’re like lightning in a bottle
I can’t let you go now that I got itAnd all I need is to be struck
By your electric love
When Børns sings the word “love,” the audio cuts to Gallagher singing “love.” TikTokers usually insert a picture of Aidan Gallagher at that point.
