[Verse 1: Bis]
I don't even know what they're on
K on the K, they're fried
I don't even know where they're gone, runners
On their block they hide, they already know what we on
Spartans rise, 4 Spartans do bikes, always tryna raid that day
Cut thru opp block they pray that we don't come their way
2 whips and the driver stay, pull up, skrt things go cray
I'm on pedal bikes where you stay, civilians please don't get in my way
These tools right here are for fun, trust me we using these stuff
Blood blood spillage again
Free up Super
Sav that's my friend
We got many things on the ends
But our splash game is all ments
And the pigs know what we do
We got many plans for your friends
They Netflixing with bae
We do trapflix in the K
Haxes James Bond on my block
Sudden moves you might get tan
Black Prince Baby, HS boy now I've grown up as a Kennington man
You come to the barbecue
300 Spartans der soon land
Ayy peng 1's, Hey deadtingK, back b in the back

[Verse 2: Miz
OrMac]
Ayy Bis, tell them I'm Harlem O
Harlem Only, Kennington baby, star in the hood we blow
Aydee do snow in O, Biscy do green like grove
Sparta we push things in smoke
Love, nah nah we ain't giving no hoe
I ain't Romeo and I'll hold, hold
Bake in the party, chocolate Barbie waiting on me for a yo
In the back is Jo, I'm riding shotgun, the drivers unknown
2 wheels, 2 men, 1 skeng pon ped lets see who gets home
Skeet skeet skeet skeet
See man run like I ain't involved
My main bitch is my flick
My side bitch is my stick
SA, with that black blade, you hear 1 flick and get dipped
Blood drip off the dip dip, it's a splash ting when we grip
It's Harlem bitch, Spartans looking all Harlem ish
HS gaza strip, splash splash like Kanye and Kim

A new “dance” trend has people rhythmically bobbing their heads all over TikTok.

The trend has been cropping up all over the platform, populating ‘for you’ pages and getting 8-seconds of a catchy tune stuck in everyone’s head. The videos tend to look very similar, due to the nature of the trend, and so often blend together. Despite this, new entries into the ‘Head Bobbing’ trend continue to pour in.

So where does it come from? What is the song behind the Head Bobbing trend, and how did it become a phenomenon on TikTok?

What is the Head Bobbing song?

The simple song, which is typically referred to as simply the ‘head bobbing’ song, is actually a remix of “Drilla – Freestyle” from Opps & Blocks. The original track dropped earlier this year and quickly found a home on TikTok.

On TikTok, most people have only heard a tiny snippet of the track. An 8-second clip from midway through the song provides the soundtrack for the trend, which pretty much just sees people bobbing their heads enthusiastically from front to back. The clip used in TikTok encompasses a short burst of lyrics, proclaiming “Love, nah nah we ain’t giving no hoe/ I ain’t Romeo and I’ll hold, hold/ Bake in the party, chocolate Barbie waiting on me for a yo.”

The OG Head Bobbing TikTok

The first TikTok to ever make use of the now-popular audio was posted by @liverpoolfans.com in late August. The TikTok displays a short clip of Roberto Firmino, known most commonly by his affectionate nickname “Bobby.” In the clip, Firmino — who plays as a forward or attacking midfielder for Liverpool and the Brazil national team — can be seen flying down the field before scoring on the opposing team.

He then breaks into a simple, rhythmic dance that pairs perfectly with the music. The clip ends soon after.

While it has little in common with the Head Bobbing trend the sound ultimately inspired, this clip is the entire reason the trend was born. It brought Opps & Blocks’ song to TikTok, where it inspired literally hundreds of charming, simple videos and a dance trend that anyone can manage.

The trend has mostly taken off in the last month or so, despite the original upload hitting the platform back in August. The most popular videos provide a slight twist on the simple trend, providing context via text overlay to add humor or drama to the resulting video.

The vast majority of the videos now populating the Head Bobbing trend are some mix of humor, family dynamic, and life or work goals. They tend to provide a small, relatable glimpse into creators’ lives, an undeniably wholesome fact that makes it clear why this trend has spread so far.
