About

Just Letting Everyone Know That I X refers to an early 2023 TikTok trend in which TikTokers used a sparkly and glittery CapCut template and the TikTok sound "Happy with you – Official Sound Studio" to let everyone know where they would be at a certain time using the phrasal template, "Just letting everyone know that I X." The trend humorously let their followers know when they would be unavailable or hard to reach. The trend evolved from the Darren and Sharron TikToks, also known as Shannon Give Me My Kids Back.

Origin

On March 2nd, 2023, TikToker^[1] @mrbogbag posted a video that used a CapCut template called "卡点," which added sparkles and fireworks to the picture of the old man as he spun around and was distorted. TikToker^[1] @mrbogbag had text overlay reading, "I miss my ex wife,,, Sharon,,, please come back with the kids,,," and over the course of 11 days, the video received roughly 1.9 million plays and 85,000 likes (shown below, left). The video inspired the later Darren and Sharron TikToks. The next day, March 3rd, TikToker^[2] @yvngkyro used the same CapCut template but instead used the TikTok^[3] sound "Happy with you – Official Sound Studio," additionally including text overlay reading, "just wanted to let everyone know I will be going out tonight and getting drunk." Over the course of 11 days, the TikTok received roughly 1.2 million plays and 264,200 likes (shown below, right).

Spread

The format of TikToker^[2] @yvngkyro's video that used the "Happy with you – Official Sound Studio" TikTok^[3] sound, the "卡点" CapCut template and the phrasal template "Just letting everyone know that I X" resulted in various iterations from other creators going into March 2023. At first, however, most iterations did not follow the phrasal template, such as TikToker^[4] @juliaperkins1's video uploaded on March 4th, 2023, which had on-screen text reading, "At 16 years old I was diagnosed with high functioning autism," and received roughly 1.5 million plays and 359,100 likes in 10 days (shown below).

Iterations soon followed that used the "Just letting everyone know that I X" phrasal template, such as a video uploaded by TikToker^[5] @whoismaroun on March 10th, 2023, that had text overlay reading, "Just letting everyone know I have a doctors appointment on monday the 13th @ 11:30am so I will be busy at that time." The TikTok received roughly 6.4 million plays and 1.3 million likes in four days (shown below).

The trend continued spreading into mid-March 2023, whereby on March 14th the "Happy with you – Official Sound Studio" TikTok^[3] sound had amassed roughly 94,800 videos using it.
