Gia Giudice is becoming the queen of TikTok thanks to the Fresh Prince.

Earlier this month, the Bravo reality star was reminded of a song she wrote during season three of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

But nearly 10 years after first delivering the "sad song" to her family at sister Milania Giudice's birthday party, Gia wasn't sure why the track was suddenly gaining so much attention and renditions on TikTok. As it turns out, she has Will Smith to thank.

While celebrating St. Patrick's Day, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star used a portion of Gia's song in his social media post when he wrote, "Remembering the time I thought it would be a good idea to make a St. Patrick's Day video alone in a hotel room."

The post then showcased Will in head-to-toe green as he danced on his bed. Thanks to Will and other users like Amir Yassai, a TikTok trend is alive and well with users using Gia's song for countless scenarios. If you ask the woman behind the lyrics, she doesn't mind the love one bit.

"I had a bunch of friends sending me text messages saying Will Smith was singing your song on Instagram and when I saw it, I couldn't believe it," Gia exclusively shared with E! News. "I love Will Smith and I thought it was really cool that he did that."

She added, "Maybe I'll do one of his songs in return."

Back in season three of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Gia expressed her sadness over the fact that several family members weren't getting along. At the time, Joe and Teresa Giuidce weren't seeing eye-to-eye with Joe Gorga and Melissa Gorga.

But as season 11 of the Bravo series airs this spring on Bravo, the Gorgas and Giudices are in a much better place and celebrating holidays together—without any cookie drama.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey airs Wednesday nights at 9 p.m. only on Bravo.
