Glenn Medeiros was best known for his 1987 hit 'Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You'

'80s pop singer Glenn Medeiros, best known for his 1987 hit “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You”, is experiencing an unexpected resurgence thanks to viral success on TikTok, reconnecting with fans old and new more than three decades after his initial rise to fame.

Medeiros, who was a teen heartthrob and chart‑topping artist in the late 1980s, has turned to the social media app to share music‑related content, personal reflections and engaging videos that have rapidly gained traction among a younger generation. Users have embraced his authentic presence and nostalgic appeal, propelling his posts into trending territory and bringing renewed attention to his classic catalog.

The singer’s climb back into the cultural spotlight comes after years of relative quiet in the mainstream music world. While his timeless ballads remained beloved by loyal fans, Medeiros had largely stepped away from high‑profile performing, until his recent TikTok activity sparked a wave of rediscovery online.
