"Watch Me"
Song

"Watch Me", (full title "Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)") is the debut single by American rapper Silentó. In April 2015, he was signed to Capitol Records that released the track as a single with an accompanying music video. The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] Internationally, the song has peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, as well as the top twenty of the charts in Denmark, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Music video

The music video was uploaded online on Silentó's YouTube channel on June 26, 2015 and shot in Atlanta, Georgia. The song involves hip hop dances from various songs, such as "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" and "Stanky Legg." Set in a high school auditorium, Silentó performs the dance with dance crews, high school and university cheerleaders, fans, even a trio of conservative women who later join in on the dance, and also incorporates videos sent in by viewers. Lil Scrappy and Rich White Ladies make a guest appearance in the video.[2]
