About
He Gave Me the Ew refers to a TikTok trend in which women and men lip dub lyrics from the song "Ick" by Lay Bankz and add text captions that outline a male trait that gives them The Ick. TikTokers also did a dance with their fingers after saying the extended "Ewwwww." The trend started in late 2023, predominantly gaining traction in December 2023.
Origin
On August 9th, 2023, the YouTube[1] channel of rapper Lay Bankz posted the official audio for her song "Ick," gaining roughly 1.6 million views and 32,000 likes in four months. At the song's 0:46-minute mark, Bankz says the lyrics, "He gave me the ew" (shown below).
On November 19th, 2023, TikToker[2] @youkvsp used the "He gave me the ew" soundbite for a meme that highlighted The Side Eye Guy's alleged attempt at canceling fellow YouTubers Sam and Colby, gaining roughly 2.4 million plays and 97,000 likes in a month (shown below). The video spawned a viral TikTok sound[3] that the trend became known under.

Spread
In late November 2023, viral photo slideshows were shared on TikTok[4] that used the sound.
In December 2023, more video iterations surfaced, like one posted by TikToker[5] @yoursafepla.ce on December 2nd, 2023, gaining roughly 3 million plays and 576,600 likes in nine days (shown below, left).

Going into December 2023, a dance became associated with the trend in which a person put both their hands in front of them to make a picture frame symbol and then moved their hands alternating backward and forward. The dance was seemingly started by TikToker[7] @carlalimm on December 5th, 2023, gaining roughly 11.2 million plays and 2.1 million likes in six days (shown below).
