What does 1437 mean on TikTok?

The seemingly random string of numbers ‘1437’ actually means ‘I love you forever’ on TikTok. TikTok isn’t the first place the term has been used, but it has been popularised again on the short form video app.

The numbers relate to how many letters are in each word: ‘I’ is one letter, ‘love’ is four letters, ‘you’ has three letters, and ‘forever’ has seven letters.

For this reason, it makes it a slightly more subtle way to tell someone you love them, or to talk about love in whatever context you want to. Many people have used the term as part of videos with deep quotes about love and relationships.

For example, one user wrote: “On good terms or not, always remember 1437.”
