WAP was released in August 2020 as a single by Cardi B featuring Megan Thee Stallion, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about pop songs of that year. Its chorus spread rapidly through TikTok dances, reaction videos and short-form edits, where creators reused the hook as shorthand for confidence and playful boldness. The song topped charts internationally and stayed in meme culture long after its release, because the short, rhythmic hook is easy to recognise and even easier to drop into a joke, transition or reveal.
