The Thai-language song “Krang Cheu Ai Nae” (เนื้อเพลง ครางชื่ออ้ายแน) has garnered attention for its emotional lyrics and catchy tune. It tells the story of a man who has lost his lover to another and must watch as she marries someone else. The song is a lamentation of his pain and longing for what once was.
However, despite its sombre theme, the song unexpectedly became viral due to a short scene in its music video. Towards the end of the video, the woman is shown lying in bed with her new husband. In a moment that caught viewers off guard, she exclaims several syllables that can only be associated with moaning during intimate moments.
