♬ Up - Cardi B
Cardi B has been sparking trends ever since ‘Bodak Yellow,’ and her song ‘UP’ has inspired the latest challenge to take over the platform. The recently released single made history this past week by debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and fans didn’t waste any time creating a new challenge for Cardi’s latest hit. For this one, you can literally do anything you want! Some have created dance routines while others have used the song for makeup challenges. Use your imagination and have fun with it!
2. ‘How To Save A Life’ - The Fray

♬ How to Save a Life - The Fray
A major throwback to 2005, many had forgotten about this record—that is until TikTok brought it back. This challenge is for everyone who has been dying to let out their inner ‘weird’ side (and let’s face it—we all have one.) Get creative with this challenge! One TikToker made a video about her boyfriend’s obsession with his hamster, and another creator recorded herself playing house with her favorite plushies. The options are limitless, but just remember to make it weird!
3. ‘Just Water’- Bryansanon

♬ Just Water - Bryansanon
Even Chance The Rapper had to get in on this challenge! Another dance trend, the theme of this challenge is...water. Bryansanon just might have one of the most catchy TikTok trends of 2021 so far, and all you have to do is pretend like you are drinking a bottle of water as you bust out your dance moves. Simple right?
4. ‘Born For This’- Foxxi

♬ BORN FOR THIS - Foxxi
Ah the memories of 2018! Sometimes certain songs are so upbeat and positive that makes you dig deep and tap into your talents, and that is exactly the case with the ‘Born For This’ challenge. A ‘DIY,’ TikTok creators are using the song to display their arts and crafts skills, showcase their recipes, and more. So if you have a special talent that you want the TikTok universe to know about, then this trend is right up your alley!
That’s going to do it for this week’s roundup, but as usual we will be back next week with the latest trends and challenges.
