It’s the holiday season, but TikTokers are not limiting themselves to only Christmas trends and songs. Instead, they’re keeping all the trendy content going, especially Dreamville’s JID’s “Surround Sound,” which passed Mariah Carey’s infamous Christmas song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on Billboard’s TikTok song list.
The trend includes setting up a camera with tape in a bird’s eye view and dancing to JID’s song “Surround Song” with a group of people or by themselves. Professional TikTokers have also switched it up by using the sound to promote their businesses.
