About

Ok I Pull Up, continued Hop Out at the After Party, are the opening lyrics to Don Toliver's 2020 song "After Party." That year, people began using a sample of the opening lyrics on TikTok and in video edits, most notably over a video of a capybara riding in the passenger seat of a car. It is often used over comedic footage of characters in motion and additional capybara videos and images, with the song's more serious nature contrasting the footage. The song is also used in the Sigma Stare meme.

Origin

On March 13th, 2020, Don Toliver released the song "After Party" off his album Heaven or Hell (shown below).



Okay, I pull up, hop out at the after party
You and all your friends, yeah, they love to get naughty

Throughout April and May of 2020, the song's original sound became notably popularized on TikTok[2] in dance, lip-dub and skit videos. The song has been used in videos by some of TikTok's biggest creators, including King Bach and Charli D'Amelio (shown below, left and right respectively).
