About
我姓石 ("My Name Is Shi") is a song by Chinese artist GUXI that became the subject of a dance trend on TikTok in August 2023 called the Wo Xing Shi Trend. The trend generally features one person saying the title line, followed by another person dancing behind them to their right. The first person repeats the lyric and the second person moves to their left and resumes dancing by swaying their hips from side to side while placing their hands on their head.
