What is TikTok’s viral ‘but you didn’t have to cut me off’ dance trend?

As a seasoned gamer who has seen numerous viral trends come and go, I must admit that the ‘but you didn’t have to cut me off’ dance trend on TikTok is a breath of fresh air! This resurgence of the 2011 hit song Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye has brought a unique twist to the platform, making it more engaging and entertaining.


The popular ‘dance trend on TikTok where people express they didn’t need to interrupt someone’ is rapidly spreading, filling For You Pages and garnering tens of millions of views.

The popular TikTok trend is using the melody from Gotye’s 2011 hit “Somebody That I Used to Know” as its background music, breathing fresh life into this timeless song.

Artists are demonstrating their Halloween outfits through this tune, and as a result, it has gathered nearly 60,000 video clips on the platform. Many users have taken advantage of the song’s unique rhythm to choreograph amusing dance sequences.

This trend consists of two individuals alternately striking poses and dancing in unison along each chorus line, resulting in a dynamic, call-and-response style that frequently brings a playful and sometimes uncomfortable atmosphere to the video clips.

On February 28, 2024, people started adopting a trend by incorporating a specific sound that originated from a post shared by dance company CDK. They had released their unique choreography for “Somebody That I Used to Know,” and the clip soon became viral, amassing over 10 million views. This surge in popularity was largely due to the song’s renowned chorus, igniting widespread interest.

2024 saw this tune frequently used for humorous dance challenges across various platforms. I jumped on the bandwagon too, posting my own take on September 28th. To my surprise, it racked up over 2.8 million views and 400k likes on TikTok!

On October 28th, the trend continued to grow in fame as TikToker cjkilla shared a video featuring themself and a friend cosplaying White Chicks characters, amassing over 7.7 million views and 2 million likes.
