Crank That (Soulja Boy) was released in 2007 as the debut single by American rapper Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, built around a simple dance instruction that listeners could follow. The song spread rapidly through early YouTube dance videos, where creators filmed themselves performing the crank move, and its catchy hook made it a staple of school dances and parties. Its rise helped show how a viral dance could turn an independent online hit into mainstream success. Today creators still use the short hook for throwback edits and dance challenges.
