MANILA, Philippines – You’ve seen her, with eyes wide and mouth agape, make the rounds online for months on end. The internet christened her the Overly Attached Girlfriend, and countless memes of her spawned on social media.

But do we remember the face responsible for the Overly Attached Girlfriend meme, and what propelled her to internet superstardom?

Her name is Laina, and it all started when she uploaded a self-made video of her singing Justin Bieber’s hit song “Girlfriend.” Her version of the song is not too far from her Overly Attached persona, rapping “Reading all your texts, watching what you do.”

Watch the Overly Attached Girlfriend’s video, which already amassed more than 17 million views since its posting in June 2012. – Rappler.com
