What is the ‘Big Dawgs’ song on TikTok? Rapper Hanumankind sparks viral trend

‘Big Dawgs’ by Indian rapper Hanumankind has taken over TikTok, sparking massive reactions and even a viral trend from car fanatics.

Since its launch in 2016, TikTok has offered musicians of all genres the chance to go viral and gain thousands of new listeners in the process.

Lil Nas X famously used the short-form video app to market songs like “Old Town Road,” and Olivia Rodrigo used the app to grow her career as a singer as well.

Hanumankind is the latest musician to take over TikTok with his song ‘Big Dawgs,’ which has sparked a trend where creators show off their cars while driving down the road.

Hanumankind ‘Big Dawgs’ lyrics & music video

The whole song is nearly four minutes long, but the clip that’s gone viral on TikTok features just the super-catchy chorus.

Wait a minute/Get it how you live it/Ten toes in when we standing on business/I’m a big stepper/Underground methods/Top notch h*es get the most not the lesser/Straight terror/product of your errors

It’s been used in over 100,000 videos on TikTok and has over 24M views on YouTube.

Hanumankind ‘Big Dawgs’ TikTok trend explained

Since it went viral on TikTok, many videos have been posted of people just reacting to the catchy song. However, people who make car-focused content have started a new trend of showing off their favorite rides.

The videos start with the owner getting into the car and then transition to them driving down the road. YouTuber The Hamilton Collection uploaded a prime example of the trend, showing off his Bugatti Chiron in the process.

TikToker dastocktesla amassed over 3M views on their video showing off the Ferrari 360 supercar driving down the road.

“360 standing on business,” they said.

There have also been variations to the trend, like Emelia Hartford’s viral Lamborghini video. Instead of driving down the road, it shows the TikToker buying her “dream” Lamborghini. Seconds later, she’s suited up with her welding gear while making a custom exhaust for the car.

Hanumankind responds to newfound popularity

While ‘Big Dawgs’ has gone viral on TikTok, Hanumankind has not responded to the short-form video app’s popularity. He lives in Bengaluru, India, where TikTok is banned.

Hanumankind has responded on Instagram, however. “Thank you for the love and support on Big Dawgs. it was an incredible experience with beautiful people. 10/10 would do it again. now, Run It Up,” he said.

Popular songs aren’t the only things that spark viral trends on TikTok. Since the start of the 2024 Paris Olympics, users have been uploading videos of their athletic “failures” as part of the “I didn’t make the Olympics” trend.
