The audio originated with singer and beatboxer Abdul Cisse, who posted the freestyle on TikTok in 2022 as his response to an open-verse format using the instrumental from Estelle's 2008 song American Boy. Its opening phrase quickly became the clip's shorthand name. Reposts, lip-syncs, animations, and Fortnite-themed edits carried it beyond the original post, while the deliberately juvenile lyrics made it easy to quote and remix. It remains recognizable because it combines a major gaming reference with a familiar pop backing track.
About this sound
The Fortnite Battle Pass sound is Abdul Cisse's viral sung freestyle over the American Boy beat, used in gaming memes, edits, and absurd reactions.
This clip is a short meme song in which Abdul Cisse sings about wanting the Fortnite Battle Pass, then swerves into a crude bodily-function joke and lines about booting up his PC. His casual, slightly breathless delivery follows the smooth American Boy instrumental, creating a deliberately ridiculous contrast between polished pop and chaotic gaming humor. The abrupt lyrics and recognizable opening make the audio land quickly, even before the full joke unfolds. It gives videos a goofy, unserious tone and works especially well when a gaming moment becomes unexpectedly embarrassing.
