BOP was released in 2019 by DaBaby, born Jonathan Kirk, as a single from his album Kirk. Produced with a sparse, bouncing beat, the track became one of his breakout hits and its video helped push the song across social platforms. Clips of the hook and beat were soon reused in dance videos, edits and meme soundboards, where the short runtime made it easy to loop or drop into a post. Its confident tone has kept it in circulation long after the original chart run, especially in short form content.
