What song the hop hop hop dance uses
The clip is timed to a sound, and the sound is the one part of this trend nobody agrees on. Two credits circulate — a Russian track and a TikTok original sound — and both are repeated as fact by different pages. Here is what each claim actually says, why they can coexist, and how to check the version in your own feed in about thirty seconds.
The short answer: it depends which wave you saw
The hop hop hop dance is cut to a sound — the hops land on the beat and the hard cut lands on the last one. But the credit for that sound is not settled, and the pages that name a track disagree with each other. Two claims circulate.
This page lays out both, says who claims what, and shows you how to check the version in your own feed. It does not pick a winner, because we have not been able to verify one.
Claim one: a Russian track
Some write-ups credit Shluzov & NeShluzov — «Её парень» ("Her Boyfriend"), a Russian track. The claim usually comes with a lyric snippet and a release year, which makes it look authoritative, but we have not seen it confirmed by the artists or by a rights holder.
Treat it as "some say". If you use this track, credit the artists in the post — the platform's library will do it automatically when you pick the licensed version.
Claim two: a TikTok original sound
Other pages point at the audio label shown on the videos themselves: "suara asli - Venadeaakira". "Suara asli" is Indonesian for "original sound", which is what TikTok displays when the audio was uploaded by a user rather than picked from the licensed library.
That label is evidence of what the app shows, not of who made the music: an original sound can be a re-upload of a commercial track, a snippet someone pitched, or something recorded on a phone.
Why both claims can be true at once
Trends arrive in waves. One batch of videos can be cut to a licensed track, then a popular upload replaces it with an original sound, and the next batch copies that. Both descriptions are then accurate for different videos, which is exactly how a disagreement like this starts.
It also means the "correct" answer changes. A page written in one week can be wrong a month later without anyone editing it.
How to check which sound your feed is using
- Search the trend in TikTok and open the most-viewed videos from the last few days.
- Tap the spinning record in the bottom-right corner. The audio page shows the track name and the creator.
- If it says "original sound", the audio belongs to that uploader; if it names an artist, the licensed track is in the library.
- Use the same audio the videos you are copying use — not the one a blog post names.
If you find a credit that is confirmed by the artist or the label, tell us and we will update this page with the source.
Why the clip you generate here is silent
Music licensing lives with the platform, not with a render farm. Shipping a clip with a commercial track baked in would put the sound in a file we cannot license, and it would be muted or taken down the moment it travelled.
So the generator returns a silent eight-second MP4, and you add the sound in the app where the licence already exists. The clip is cut to the same length as the trend, so the beat lines up without re-timing.
Adding the sound without breaking the cut
- Upload the MP4 to TikTok, Reels or Shorts as a draft.
- Tap "Add sound", search the track, and pick the version with the most videos.
- Trim the audio so the first beat lands on the point, not on the first hop. Nudge by a few frames until the palms hit the accent.
- Keep the clip's own audio at zero — there is nothing on it to keep.
- Label the post as AI-generated before you publish.
If you publish it
Credit the sound through the platform's own attribution, label the video as AI-generated, and do not present the clip as footage of a real performance. If the audio turns out to belong to an artist who does not allow the use, the platform will tell you before we can.
Questions about the sound
What song is in the hop hop hop dance?
There is no single confirmed answer in writing. One claim credits the Russian track "Её парень" by Shluzov & NeShluzov; another points at a TikTok original sound labelled "suara asli - Venadeaakira". The reliable way to know is to open the trend in TikTok and read the audio name on the videos you are actually copying.
Is it a Russian song?
Some pages say so, naming "Её парень" by Shluzov & NeShluzov. We have not been able to confirm that credit from the rights holders, so treat it as a claim rather than a fact.
What does "suara asli" mean?
It is Indonesian for "original sound". TikTok shows it when the audio comes from a user upload rather than a licensed track in the music library, which also means the audio may itself be a re-upload of something else.
Why is the clip I generated silent?
Because the sound is licensed by the platform, not by us. Every clip ships silent and you add the trending audio inside TikTok, Reels or Shorts when you post. The clip is cut to eight seconds so it fits the sound.
