Title glitched, it’s AITA for getting pissed off and then telling off my girlfriend just because of an NSYNC song

For context, I (23F) have a girlfriend (20F) that is a fan of multiple genres of music. A few months ago Deadpool and Wolverine came around theaters and it featured a song from NSYNC which most of you probably can guess already, BYE BYE BYE. It instantly became an earworm for me to the point that I can’t stop singing it from the first week of hearing it to atleast two weeks. Majority of you know the iconic song title part of the song wherein there sing “Bye Bye Bye” with the extra “Bye Bye” in the background. Whenever I sing, I always sing the background voices because it’s fun for me and also because sometimes I feel like the song is incomplete when I sing without the background lines.

My girlfriend however, is very weirded out by it. Trust me when I say that she’s very caring, very kind and considerate and etc. Basically what you’d want in a partner and we’ve been together for more than 5 years. The only catch is that she gets weirded out whenever I sing the background lines. The first time she pointed it out to me I explained to her how I felt about singing like what I said above. I didn’t pay no mind much since she might just be pointing it out. The next time it happened however, she once again laughed and pointed it out how weird it was. I got a bit upset because I’ve been bullied before when I was still in highschool for being “weird” and explained to her that’s just how I sing.

Long story short, everytime I sing the song BYE BYE BYE and I add the extra “Bye Bye” at the end, she chuckles and keeps mentioning it’s weird. One day I just told her off how hearing her say it’s weird multiple times throughout the week just icked me to the point of frustration. She got upset as well and told me how she found it weird because she never heard anyone sing it like how I do. After telling her how I felt and how upset I got, I just kept silent about the song.

Cut to the present, the song played on my spotify radio and she asked me to sing it, probably remembering what I told her, and I just don’t feel comfortable singing it whenever she’s in proximity.

Was I an asshole for telling her off? I might just be overreacting but I don’t really know.

EDIT: a lot of people might get confused. No I did not tell her off for the first two comments because I just thought she was poking fun, I only got bothered AFTER she repeatedly called me weird over the week. No I don’t have problems in our relationship

Yes I love her very much and I would do ANYTHING for this woman

To the people saying I shouldn’t be trauma dumping at my partner just because I was bullied back in highschool, no I was not trauma dumping. i was merely making a reference as to why I felt uncomfortable getting called weird repetitively.
