You've probably never wanted a Rolex so much after hearing Ayo & Teo's "Rolex." The song, which was officially released in March 2017, also comes with a fun dance that went viral on social media, as the duo created a challenge for their fans around it.
"Rolex" is absolutely about the coveted watch, and was inspired by a shopping trip to a jeweler at the mall. The guys explain to iHeartRadio, "We were buying jewelry at a mall, it ended up being fake jewelry, but we didn't know about it until we texted our manager the watches that the jeweler took out of the safe. Our manager told us to get out, and we didn't understand why, so we left, and came back to our hotel room."
The shopping experience only fueled their desire to buy a Rolex even more ... so they wrote a song about it. Using a T-Pain app, the guys created the hook for the song in their hotel room bathroom, and then took it to the studio to give us what we know as "Rolex" today.
And out of the song, its equally addictive dance was born. Follow this step by step guide to the "Rolex" dance, and you'll be on your way to becoming a "Rolex" dance star in no time.
