About

Jamie G "Oh Cherie Amour, Pretty Little One That I Adore" refers to a series of edits and videos of British TikToker Jamie G (aka Jamie Graham, jamiegraham321 or @jamie.g777) set to a remix of the song "Wish You Were Mine" by Philip George, centering on the lyrics, "Oh, Cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore, you're the only girl my heart beats for." The lyrics were sampled from Stevie Wonder's song "My Cherie Amour." Jamie G is shown preening for the camera, often moving his finger across the bottom of his nose, indicating that he's just snorted cocaine. Jamie G also adds a voice saying, "Yes!" and gunshot sound effects to his videos. The Jamie G memes went viral on TikTok in November and December 2024. Many of the edits also showed rapper Nettspend. In turn, many of the edits included both Jamie G and Nettspend. The song was also likened to so-called "Chav music."
