The ‘Neon Moon’ TikTok trend has gone viral over the last few weeks, thanks to a song from country music stars Brooks & Dunn. Here’s everything we know about it, and how creators are using it. 

Since its creation in 2016, TikTok has been the home for a variety of trends. Some of the biggest trends involve a choreographed dance accompanied by a popular song, whether it’s a new release or an older song brought back to the spotlight.

We’ve seen trends bring back hits like ‘Act like you know‘ from 1996 and although the ‘talking to the moon‘ trend is powered by a recent remix, the original song is from 2010.

Now creators from all over the world have uploaded videos of them performing the ‘Neon Moon’ dance trend, and fans are loving it. Here’s how creators are using it.

What song is behind the Neon Moon TikTok trend?

Released in 1992, the song behind the viral trend is ‘Neon Moon’ by country music duo Brooks & Dunn. However, just like the ‘talking to the moon’ trend, it was revived with a more upbeat remix from DJ Noiz.

At the time of writing, the sound on TikTok has over 1.8 million videos using it.

When the sun goes down on my side of town
That lonesome feeling comes to my door
And the whole world turns blue
There’s a rundown bar ‘cross the railroad tracks
I got a table for two way in the back
Where I sit alone and think of losing you
