British teenager Harvey Bass has blown up the Internet with his infectious, addictive dance moves on social media. 

Harvey’s hard to resist dance on video sharing app TikTok has gone beyond expectations.

The video garnered over 3.7m likes and 40.9k comments as of Thursday morning.

Gulf Today spoke to the sixteen-year-old agile lad from North West, England on what went on behind the scenes of the now famous video clip.

Harvey said, “So it began with my interest with the app TikTok. I had seen a dance going round on the app to the song ‘The Git Up’ by Blanco Brown and it had been stuck in my head for days!”

He said, “For a bit of context, in the UK (where I live) we have to sit many GCSE exams so on the 7th June, I had 2 exams (one in the morning and one in the afternoon). It was in between the two exams that me and my friend Niamh decided to (out of nowhere) open the app TikTok and record... And so it began. The video immediately began to blow up and it still is!”

Harvey shared the video on TikTok with the caption that reads, “I got suspended for this😔 #foryou #featurethis #uk creds: @_niamhmurphyy…”

Gulf Today was curious to know about the suspension part, and asked Harvey, “Did you get suspended?

The young lad laughingly responded, “I guess that’s a secret I’ll never tell 😉”

Ever since his video is out, netizens are having a hard time resisting the clip. 

One TikTok user, Benji Krol said, “You should’ve been given full marks in every class instead wtf…”

Another who goes by the name “always smiling” said: “This is so clean, truly magnificent.”

Brandon Robert said, “I can’t..... stop...... watching......”

Hunter said, “Dance is even smoother than the camera…”

♡jackson_krecioch♡☻said, “This is legit addicting to watch. So clean!”

La’Ron®🤴🏽🎤 said, “This is lit!🔥 I’m enjoying it more because he’s an actual dancer…”

Maasonboyer said, “Literally I haven't seen anything better than this…”

Harvey also shared the video on Instgram and said, “Because E V E R Y O N E told me to post it !!! I had so much fun with this, thank you for the support and I can’t wait to make more content😜 Everyone go check out @blancobrown new song ‘The Git Up’ 🔥 •

He also clarified the doubts regarding who filmed the video. Harvey said, “Full video credits should go to this account and thank you to @niamhflomurphy for being the genius who thought of filming the video this way... you all keep guessing how it’s filmed…”
