Ever heard of the Git Up Challenge? Here’s the 411 on the latest dance craze. It’s inspired by country/hip-hop artist Blanco Brown’s song “The Git Up”. The song was a surprisingly catchy result of fusing country and hip-hop music. The music video has since gained over twenty-eight million views on YouTube and over fifty million streams on Spotify.
In the video, the artist is seen dancing the now-viral steps with passersby, firefighters, students, and even senior citizens. Meant to be a feel-good track that inspires people to just let loose and be comfortable. The lyrics, paired with a creatively directed music video, teach listeners how to have fun with learning traditional country dance moves.
Both the song and the video have gone viral on TikTok, a social media app that lets users create and share talent, comedy, and lip-sync videos. Like most dance crazes, the Git Up challenge had everyone buzzing – and dancing in parks, streets, offices, and even supermarkets! It didn’t take long for people to catch on. Since the challenge became viral, countless versions surfaced online.
Blanco Brown even has a separate video tutorial for the challenge! Active social media/TikTok users definitely appreciated how the artist walked his fans through the steps. The video made it even easier for everyone else to hop on and take on the challenge, just like one particular duo who made their version at home.
This daddy-daughter team brings a whole new level of cuteness to the challenge. It seemed like just another laidback day in the residence of DJ Rhett when he and his daughter Meg decided to upload a dance video of their own. Both even had on plaid tops which highlighted the country music feel of the song and the steps. The two looked like they were having a blast just dancing and goofing around in their living room.
It was such a happy and entertaining video that one user even commented on how this video would eventually serve as a reminder to Meg of just how much fun they had together.
