Pop star Jake Miller has quarantine fatigue, too. At least he’s making funny TikToks

Jake Miller is all of us in South Florida quarantine.

He’s so bored he’s painting rocks, switching socks and counting dots, he raps in his new song, “Take a Walk.”

The pop star is in lockdown with his family in Weston, where he was born and raised. The Millers are doing what the rest of us doing during the coronavirus pandemic: nothing.

Actually, his mom does want her son to exercise; she keeps asking the 27 year old to take a walk in their neighborhood, hence, the title.

“Jake, can we go for another walk?” yells his mom in the track.

The video has racked up right around 20 million views on Tik Tok. It’s worth your time watching the South Florida family of four scouring for food in the fridge, strolling around their palm-tree lined block and chilling on the couch. Sound familiar?

There’s more of this doing-nothing, collective musical project: The “Wait for You” singer recorded a series of coronavirus themed “Quarantunes” on the wildly popular social media channel.

Other songs include “House Party,” “Don’t Eat The Bat” and “How Long Will This Last?”

Thanks Jake. We just killed a half hour of quarantine lockdown watching your hysterical vids.
