TikTok Creator Suggests Tweaking An Indie Band’s Song…And Everyone Loves It
Rachel Ruff Cuyler is a creator and screenwriter on TikTok and now maybe she can add music producer to her credits. She came across a video of a song called “Could Be Love” by a Utah-based indie band, Poolhouse, and thought with a few tweaks it could be an amazing song.

Her suggestions got a lot of attention, including that of some famous names and even Poolhouse saw it. They loved her ideas and invited her to fly out to Utah to be in a music video for the newly recorded track, “Could Be Love – Rachel’s Version”!

@poolhouseband Thank you to Rachel and everyone following this story for putting us in a position where we can release two versions of a song that we truly love. We feel this whole thing is what Poolhouse is all about and we are so proud of Rachel’s Version and the OG. Our song of the summer is out and we hope it will be the song of your summer too! Thank god I’m a loser! @Rachel Makes Movies (and TV) @Spotify ♬ Could Be Love (Rachel’s Version) – Poolhouse
The bandmembers say it’s really cool how something so authentic has reached so many people. They had some 9,000 monthly listens before this viral collabo and now that’s jumped to 200,000 listens on Spotify. Their first official album, “Music for Poor Kids” is dropping this summer!
