Jenna Raine has a big dumb heart and the world has taken notice

If "relatable human" were a mood board, at its center would be a giant picture of Jenna Raine. The 19-year-old singer-songwriter oozes an approachable, insta-BFF vibe that's impossible to define...and impossible to ignore. She's the kind of person you meet and, five minutes later, it feels like you've been inseparable since kindergarten.

That vibe doesn't only work IRL-it hits you through the screen and speakers, too. Scroll through Jenna's TikTok and you'll feel ready to DM her your deepest secrets.

By early 2020, Jenna was building a real following of people drawn to her authentic teen-girl content. But, tbh, that meant they were kind of missing the point...which, for Jenna, has always been her music.

When the pandemic hit, Jenna decided it was time to let her talent take center stage and embarked on her 100 Songs Challenge, inspired by her vocal coach. While just covering 100 songs would qualify as a challenge, Jenna's ambitious undertaking was to write 100 fully original songs and document her progress on TikTok.

Considering that 100 songs is, well, a lot of songs to write, it didn't take long for Jenna to start reaching out to her followers for inspo-and for one of those comment suggestions ("right person, wrong time") to inspire what would become her breakout, 100-million-streams-and-counting hit, "see you later (ten years)."

Of course, not *every* song Jenna wrote during the challenge was a smash. At least one made her cringe too much to share it.

"It was called 'Jackpot' and I hated it so much," she says, laughing. "I remember getting up from the piano and being like, 'That was the worst song I've ever written. I'm going to go get chicken now.""

Jenna may have drowned her embarrassment in a plate of Raising Cane's tenders, but that's pretty much the extent of the impact writing her "worst song ever" had on her day.

"You have to write bad songs to get to the good ones-it's just inevitable," she reflects. "If I hadn't written 'Jackpot,' I wouldn't have gotten to 'see you later."
