The Rick Dance comes from Fortnite's crossover with Rick and Morty, the animated series created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. Rick Sanchez arrived as a playable skin in Chapter 2 Season 7 in 2021, during the alien themed Invasion season. The emote let players make characters perform his goofy dance in matches, lobbies and creative maps. Clips of the move spread quickly on TikTok, YouTube and streaming platforms, where the short looping music became shorthand for celebrating a win or acting smug after outplaying an opponent.
About this sound
The dance track from the Fortnite emote where Rick Sanchez celebrates, used in clips, edits and streams for goofy victory and meme moments online.
This is the upbeat dance music that plays during the Rick Dance emote in Fortnite, built around a bouncy electronic groove made for looping while a character dances in place. The rhythm is simple, bright and instantly recognisable to players who have seen the emote in lobbies and victory screens. It has a playful, slightly absurd energy that matches Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty, turning a normal win or a silly moment into a mini celebration. Viewers hear the beat and immediately picture the arms swinging and body bobbing along.
