“That’s a drop-top coupe / Said you wanna drive it down real soon / I just wanna love you like I do…” Sound familiar? The catchy song by J. Tajor is making the rounds on TikTok as the soundtrack to a new dance trend going viral on the platform, pioneered by young Filipina student, dancer, and choreographer Rizelle Disono.

In the age of TikTok, practically anyone can find fame and virality by starting a trend. It’s one of the advantages of the platform: it can catapult talent into the stratosphere and someone into global recognition with just one fifteen-second video. “Since I rushed the dance choreography,” Disono shared. “I didn’t think [it] would go viral. I was shocked and surprised that major K-pop idols noticed it.”
The 23-year-old posted her TikTok in early November 2023, but the trend has been picking up as of late, particularly in South Korea, with idols, dancers, and TikTokers in general dancing along to the choreography. Even dancer and choreographer Bada Lee was caught practicing the dance. Below is a compilation of the idols posting their own entries dancing to Like I Do inspired by Disono.

SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi and Vernon were two of the earliest idols along with TXT (who have since deleted their own video) to hop on Disono’s trend, which is a fun Pinoy connection given that they’re going to the Philippines themselves for their FOLLOW concert this weekend.
