Explaining the trend of “dance or go back with dad”
A video trend called “Dance or go back with daddy” has taken TikTok by storm. There, children approach their mothers and give instructions: “Dance or return to your father.”
Often mothers just stop and shake their heads in confusion. Other times, moms start doing dance moves right away.
This trend is usually accompanied by the audio and song of Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).”
Conversely, fathers are also starting to get involved. Similarly, I was told to dance or move back in with my mom, but I was asked to do so by setting my TikTok video audio to Moneybagg Yo’s “F My BM.”
However, fathers are less likely to participate and often just stare at the camera or scold their children.
This trend dates back to April 2023, and a year after it started, it’s still going strong. The most viewed video with this tag currently has over 13 million views and that number continues to grow.
