Tell Ur Girlfriend Dance Trend

About

Tell Ur Girlfriend is the name of a dance trend on TikTok that became popularized in mid-2024. The dance trend, named after the song by Lay Bankz that is used as the background music, quickly spread across the platform due to its quick movements, including dance moves that involve "throwing it back" and "serving cunt." On TikTok, the dance trend has shown equal usage between girls and guys, with a particular focus being on uniformed men, such as military or police performing the motions.

Origin

On February 17th, 2024, musical artist Lay Bankz uploaded a snippet of her new song onto her official TikTok^[1]. The snippet, showing her in a salon getting her hair done, obtained over 4.1 million likes in four months while adding the audio to the platform for others to use for their own dances (shown below).

On March 22nd, 2024, TikToker and dance creator laurieluna13^[2] uploaded her and a friend creating the dance to the audio while in school. The dance, which involves alternating pops, arm movements and finishes off with a rotation and throwing it in a circle, quickly gained over 73,000 likes in three months and spread across the platform after she posted a tutorial^[3] on April 8th (shown below, left and right).

Spread

Throughout April 2024, the dance trend continued to spread across the platform with different types of people uploading their own attempts at it. Shortly after the tutorial was uploaded, the TikToker Garzonricardoc^[4] uploaded his version of doing the dance trend while in military uniform, earning over 5.2 million likes and encouraging other uniformed personnel to follow suit.

On April 14th, 2024, the TikToker and security guard rynielpineda^[5] uploaded his own dancing to it, earning over 8.1 million likes and thousands of comments calling him a "slaycurity guard" (shown below, left and right).

In May 2024, the dance trend evolved to feature Brother Boxing in which the main girl would try to do the dance trend while having a male, believed to be her brother, attempt to shadow box her while she does it, often ending in an actual physical altercation.

For example, on May 3rd, 2024, TikToker tatianakaer^[6] uploaded her own version of it, with her brother ending the video after a hip-check earned them over 1.9 million likes in one month (shown below).
