Viral TikTok trend features grillz and lip-syncing

A new TikTok trend called "I got 21 bullets inside of this clip" has recently gone viral. This trend is based on a song called "Hardest Ese Ever" by That Mexican OT, released in December 2021. The song gained renewed popularity in March 2025 as users started lip-syncing to its catchy lyrics while showing off grillz or mock-grillz. To participate in the trend, users create videos that begin with the phrase, "You have something in your teeth." They then pretend to pick something from their teeth. When the song's beat drops and the lyrics play, they smile to reveal grillz or creative versions made from foil or shiny materials. This playful mix of humor and style has resonated with many TikTok users. The trend started after TikToker iamorlandojames posted a video on February 15, 2025. His video included the iconic caption and grillz reveal, quickly gathering over 35 million views. In the following weeks, other TikTokers, like diamantblazi and kadidja.becher, also joined in, with their videos reaching millions of views. As of March 2025, more than 123,300 TikToks have been created using the trend. Users are adding their own creative spins, making it a fun way to express themselves. This trend is among many popular ones on TikTok in 2025, alongside other memes and crazes.
