The Canadian rapper, who’s no stranger to [instigating a viral challenge](https://time.com/5799455/flip-the-switch-challenge-drake/) online, appears primed for current TikTok dominance after a clip of an unreleased song has become a dance challenge for fans. The song, called “Toosie Slide,” includes instructive lyrics like “right foot up, left foot slide/left up, right foot slide,” making it the perfect soundbite for a looping TikTok clip — and a dance challenge. The song appeared in a social media clip by Atlanta dancer Toosie (known on Twitter as @TheRealYvngQuan), where he styled choreography that mirrored Drake’s lyrics. Following the post, Drake confirmed via his Instagram that this snippet of a song was a preview of his new single, aptly dubbed the “Toosie Slide.” Listen to the preview of “Toosie Slide” and see Drake’s latest viral dance challenge below. > [](https://twitter.com/TheRealYvngQuan/status/1244388959339384834) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5813048/drake-toosie-slide-challenge-new-song-tiktok-challenge/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5813048/drake-toosie-slide-challenge-new-song-tiktok-challenge/"},"headline":"Drake's Unreleased Song 'Toosie Slide' Has Already Inspired a Viral TikTok Challenge","datePublished":"2020-03-31T14:51:49.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:01:25.230Z","description":"The single is set to drop on Thursday","url":"https://time.com/5813048/drake-toosie-slide-challenge-new-song-tiktok-challenge/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","clickmonsters","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt728264ff0f8c2890/698a0c87db29877a87265311/Drake-Toosie-Slide.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt728264ff0f8c2890/698a0c87db29877a87265311/Drake-Toosie-Slide.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Drake at Top Boy UK Premiere - London","caption":"Drake at Top Boy UK Premiere","creditText":"Ian West—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5813048/drake-toosie-slide-challenge-new-song-tiktok-challenge/","name":"Drake's Unreleased Song 'Toosie Slide' Has Already Inspired a Viral TikTok Challenge"}}]}] ```
