# Looking for a Man in Finance

"Looking for a Man in Finance" or simply "Man in Finance" is a satirical song written by singer Megan Boni known as @girl_on_couch on the social media platform TikTok.

## Background

Megan Boni was primarily working in sales when her a cappella song went viral. Boni was inspired to make the song when she was thinking about single women complaining about their relationship status but had unrealistic expectations of men. She includes herself in this category. She stated that it "was 100 percent a parody".
Boni originally posted on April 30, 2024, with the text overlay saying "Did I just write the song of the summer?" The video was 19-seconds long and the lyrics delivered with an upbeat tempo. She states it only took a few minutes to make the song.
Three weeks after sharing her video on TikTok, it was viewed more than 26 million times. The song has led to numerous remixes. Boni in fact requested to her audience that DJs remix it with the caption "Can someone make this into an actual song plz just for funzies." After her song went viral, she quit her job and started working to promote her music career. She signed a label deal with Capitol/Polydor/Virgin Germany.
On May 17, 2024, Boni and songwriting duo Billen Ted released the single "Man in Finance (G6 Trust Fund)" on Spotify and other streaming services.

## Song description

The lyrics describe looking for a tall, wealthy man working in the financial sector to be in a relationship with. The song begins with Boni saying "I'm looking for a man in finance, with a trust fund, 6' 5", blue eyes." It continues to repeat the lyrics. She delivers the lyrics in a rhythmic manner and incorporates vocal fry.
For a version of the song made for Loud Luxury, lyrics were added "Guys, I'm still fucking looking for my man. Will you help me find my man?" The G6 Trust Fund remix has a intro where she says (presumably in a call) "Hi, yeah, I just left the date And I dunno, am I asking for too much? And this guy was really cute and he was a musician and he was super passionate about what he did But I don't know, all l'm looking for".
