Track Star was released by American rapper Mooski in 2020 and broke through in early 2021 after its hook spread widely on TikTok. Users turned the runner line into a template for escape jokes, filming themselves, friends and animals running in slow motion or cutting to a chase at the exact moment the lyric hits. A Coi Leray remix helped push the song further up the charts that spring. The short excerpt kept circulating as a meme sound long after the dance and running challenge faded.
