The Lyrics To "Roxanne" Are So Freaking Catchy, No Wonder TikTokers Love It
TikTok is known for turning teens into social media sensations literally overnight. The app also has a considerable effect on musicians whose songs are used in those viral TikTok videos. "Roxanne" is one of those songs, and that's because Arizona Zervas' "Roxanne" lyrics are so dang catchy. That, on top of its hip-hop beat accented by infectious chirping sounds, makes it the perfect track to mime to.
"Roxanne" became an instant success on TikTok after Zervas released the track on Oct. 10, 2019. Part of the draw to the single has got to be the opening line: "All for the 'gram, B*tches love the 'gram." It practically begs TikTokers to use it in some out-of-box internet content. Obviously, that's what happened.
At the time of publication, there are over 2 million TikTok videos featuring the hit, ranging from dance challenges to experimental "all for the 'gram" trends, like dropping an iPhone down an incredibly high flight of stairs.
If you're looking to get your groove on or learn a few cool moves, there are also plenty of dancing videos from TikTokers, including platform favorties Charli D'Amelio, Addison Easterling, and Lil Huddy.
Take a look at D'Amelio's choreo below:

Since the track's viral TikTok success, Zervas signed with Columbia on Nov. 15, 2019, and the track topped Billboard's Hot Rap Songs Chart that December.
