The sound initially went viral in summer 2023, with Kylie Jenner and Stormi even getting involved, but as Sydney Sweeney becomes the nation's sweetheart, with the success of Anyone But You and her recent SNL appearance, the trend is having a second moment in the sun.

Most recently, WWE's Tiffany Stratton poked fun at the trend.
