    "Something New" is a song by American rapper Wiz Khalifa, featuring American singer and Taylor Gang label mate Ty Dolla Sign for his sixth studio album Rolling Papers 2 (2018). It was released for digital download on August 11, 2017 by Atlantic Records as the album's lead single. It was produced by Ayo & Keyz and Hitmaka. It heavily samples Zapp's 1986 single "Computer Love". The song experienced a resurgence in popularity in 2020 due to its usage on TikTok.

The challenge sees participants line up behind each other, with one person in front to kick off the dance, and everyone else then proceeding to push each elbow out to the side before shimmying along to the song's chorus and then clapping along to the beat.[5][6]
