There’s a fresh dance craze sweeping social media called the “Maps” challenge, gaining traction on TikTok. This has left many fans curious about its origins and nature. Could it be a complex, intricate dance move? Or perhaps it’s relatively straightforward to join in?
Here are all your questions regarding the TikTok “Maps” dance trend answered.
TikTok’s ‘Maps’ dance trend explained
In the popular TikTok “Maps” challenge, people are seen dancing energetically to a quick tempo cover of the song “Maps” by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Many users are jumping on this trend, creating videos, often focusing on the line, “Hold on, they don’t love you like I do.
The initial video that appears to align with this trend was posted by user @southernbellesuzie on September 15, 2024. In this video, she dances in a restroom, and as the song progresses, she moves lower. When the word “wait” is sung, she points her fingers for a brief moment, then speeds up when “they don’t love you like I love you” is played. Additionally, her facial expressions shift from surprised to playful during the dance.

As of writing, this video has garnered 2.4 million likes, 274.3k shares, and 135.8k saves.
After a short period, other users on the video platform started mimicking the actions, each adding their unique style to the performance. User @jack_vgh is seen grooving and swaying his hips in sync with the song’s beat, “they don’t love you like I love you,” but freezes and makes a stop sign gesture when the word “wait” comes up in the lyrics.
It appears that the new dance move, similar to what jack_vgh does in the video, has gained more popularity than the original version. Many users have adopted this step and added their own unique twists to the dance routine.
Users like @soup2gud are getting creative with the trend by having animals show off the dance steps rather than performing them personally.
