About

Watch Me Dissolve Daddy POVs is a series of TikTok POV Roleplays that use Absofacto's song "Dissolve." The videos, which became popular in July 2020, typically involve participants roleplaying as a father speaking to members of their family. In some instances, the videos contain skits in which fathers are interrupted by their child in the middle of a sexual encounter, which led to a backlash on the platform and a response from Absofacto.
