You’re probably aware by now of the popular Git Up Challenge inspired by Blanco Brown’s song by the same name.
It’s so catchy it makes you want to dance – and it just to happens that he created a dance to go with it!
Within two months of its release, the song has racked up 42 million streams on Spotify. Then, a dance challenge was created, which already had about 29 million views on TikTok at that time.
The road to the song’s viral success most likely started when Blanco Brown posted a video of him dancing to the song on his Instagram page.
And he referenced this success on his official music video as well.
“Git Up” is one of those songs where you can’t help but shake your shoulders, stomp your feet, and snap your fingers. It’s got easy lyrics, a snappy and catchy tune, and a melody that’ll just put a smile on your face.
“Right now I just need you to git real loose
Get comfortable
Grab your loved ones or grab your love partner
and if you’re by yourself no worries just follow after me.”
And that’s most likely one of the reasons a lot of people loved doing the “Git Up” dance, including this group of friends in the Bahamas.
“To the left to the left now
to the right to the right
now take your left hand and put it on your side
gone roll your shoulders
do the slip and slide
this next parts my favorite part cuz its time to shine”
Maybe their dance moves aren’t perfect, but the background sure is – it makes us want to head to the beach immediately.
It’s a fun song and they want to have fun. So they’re going to dance to it and it doesn’t matter what other people are going to think.
Well, apparently, so many people loved it that their video went viral on YouTube, earning over 600,000 views since it was first posted in 2019. Viewers loved it!
“Way to go! Looks like everyone is having fun,” Ashley Manuel said.
“Good for them.. they look like they were having fun..that’s all that should matter.. they did great,” Becky McGraw added.
“Looks like u all had fun! I thought the best two were the rainbow shorts guy and the guy directly in the middle during the beginning,” Gavin Benham analyzed.
Did you know that even up to now, almost two years later, there are people still doing The Git Up Challenge?
If you do a search on YouTube, there are so many people who have posted their videos dancing to this challenge. And it’s different types of people, too! There are men and women dancing, old and young, policemen, professional dancers, and so much more.
Blanco Brown really started a dance revolution with his song.

And it’s because it’s such a fun, wholesome song, which means anyone can enjoy it.
“Music. The one universal thing that can we can all embrace. This is one of those songs that might just do a little bit healing. I absolutely love this!!” one woman agreed.
And we totally agree too!
