Referring to Tyla as "the singer behind the TikTok 'Water' dance trend" feels painfully reductionist. While many know the South African songstress as a TikTok trend pioneer,Affair With A 20 Year Old Female Student I discovered her two years ago when she melted my heart with a 2021 banger called "Getting Late."
Her fame blossomed when she opened for Chris Brown's "Under the Influence" tour earlier this year. Concertgoers began uploading TikTok clips of Tyla performing "Water," a catchy song that launched in July. According to Time, the tune is a melangeof pop, R&B, Afrobeats, and amapiano.
Mesmerizing viewers with her rhythmic hips, she writhed and shook her tush to the beat while pouring water down her back. Soon after, TikTok users began attempting the dance themselves, dubbing it #TylaWaterChallenge or #WaterDanceChallenge. According to Time, hashtags of this ilk attracted nearly 500 million views.
Mashable's Digital Culture team has had the pleasure of publishing several tutorials for TikTok trends, including crazes like the viral AI '90s yearbook and moon phase compatibility.
