I'm Gonna Take My Time / "Sensual Seduction" TikTok Trend

About

I'm Gonna Take My Time or the "Sensual Seduction" TikTok Trend is a lip-dub trend on TikTok set to the song "Sensual Seduction" by Snoop Dogg where two people stare at each other, often at a table, with the camera cutting back and forth between them followed by them dancing together. In some videos, the two participants discuss something they shouldn't do that they both know they want or are going to do anyway. The trend began in late August 2022 and went viral in September shortly after.
