My Boo was originally released in 1996 by Atlanta group Ghost Town DJs and became a Miami bass hit built for dance floors. It returned to the charts twenty years later in 2016 when two New Jersey teenagers filmed themselves doing a loose running man dance to the song and posted it online. The joke spread quickly across Vine, Instagram and sports teams, with the song from running man challenge searches surging as more people copied the moves and challenged friends to post their own versions.
About this sound
The upbeat hook from Ghost Town DJs' My Boo, made famous by the viral Running Man Challenge dance videos widely shared across social media in 2016.
This clip is the smooth, bouncy chorus section of My Boo by Ghost Town DJs, built around a warm female vocal repeating the title over a Miami bass beat and bright synth chords. The groove is light, romantic and instantly danceable, with a steady pulse that invites simple side to side steps and arm swings. When it plays, viewers immediately recognise the Running Man Challenge rhythm and expect playful footwork, which makes even a short excerpt feel nostalgic, upbeat and primed for a quick dance break.
