If you ever wished that Lil Nas X’s smash country-trap hit “Old Town Road” was just a little bit more like the Cha Cha Slide, do we have the song for you.

Blanco Brown’s song “The Git Up” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 this week at No. 66, after gaining some traction as a viral dance craze on the video-sharing app TikTok— which was also the origin of “Road” after its pairing with the “yeehaw juice” meme.

The streams are increasing rapidly for this upcoming tracking week, so its chart position is only going to rise. It looks like we have another maddeningly catchy country tune with modern hip-hop production on our hands that just might get played at weddings and graduations until the end of time.  

“Old Town Road”, by the way, is still sitting in the No. 1 spot for its 11th straight week with no obvious contender to unseat it in sight. It has blocked songs by superstars like Shawn Mendes, Taylor Swift, and Ed Sheeran from the summit and it’s projected to take a run at the all-time record of 16 weeks, jointly held by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” and another meme juggernaut–“Despacito”.

What in the world is going on? Where did this all come from? How did we get to the point where country rap can get a room full of children just as excited as “Baby Shark” can?

This video is what hell looks like.

After controversially removing “Old Town Road” from the Country charts, rest assured that Billboard is letting “The Git Up” stay.

But why are we so drawn to tracks like this right now?

“The Git Up” is the perfect storm of meme culture, the death of the genre, a rapidly growing social media network…and a really fun dance.

The last debut single to spend as much time at the top as “Old Town Road” has? That’s right, the Macarena. Never underestimate the sheer power of a dance everyone wants to prove they can do.

We’ve already seen the latest crop of young acts, whether it’s Billie Eilish or Post Malone, throw genre conventions out the window to massive success.

When two genres that couldn’t be more far apart are finally joined, it’s both hilarious enough to joke about and refreshing enough to have legitimate staying power in a world where popular tastes are shifting. And what better way to spread it around than in the brief, shareable soundbites that TikTok offers?

Strap on your cowboy boots, because this one’s here to stay too.
