Jojo Siwa is the record-breaking artist behind songs like ‘Kid in a Candy Store’ and ‘Every Girl’s a Super Girl’

This artist rose to stardom with the reality series Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition, making it to the top-5 in the process. Since then, Siwa made a brand empire out of her colorful, uplifting personality. She also released songs like “Kid in a Candy Store” and “Every Girl’s a Super Girl.”

Siwa is also known for her brand partnerships with big names like Target and Claire’s. Entertainment Weekly reported that Claire’s Accessories faced a downtrend in sales from established licenses like Frozen and One Direction. 

It was thanks to Siwa’s partnership that the retailer saw a boost in sales. This artist appeared on the reality competition series, Dancing With the Stars, even earning several perfect scores. In recent interviews, Siwa also revealed some of her favorite songs. 

Jojo Siwa shared that she and her girlfriend love ‘Happily’ by One Direction

In 2021, Siwa revealed that she identifies as pansexual, even revealing that she is in a relationship with her girlfriend Kylie Prew. That same year, the artist shared which song is a shared favorite of her and her girlfriend. That’s a track originally released by the boy band One Direction. 

“I feel like ‘Happily’ by One Direction is like my girlfriend and I’s anthem,” Siwa said during an interview with MTV. “It’s that part that’s like ‘I don’t care what people say when we’re together.'”

This song was released in conjunction with the boy band’s 2013 album, Midnight Memories. “Happily” currently has over 110 million plays on the streaming platform Spotify. Once Siwa shared her love for this song, One Direction fans named Siwa a “Larrie,” or someone who believes in the imaginary relationship between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
