Megan Thee Stallion - "Savage"

[kcdawg13]

One of the biggest hits of 2020, blew up initially as a TikTok dance challenge and ended up becoming Megan's first #1 hit when a remix with Beyonce set it over the edge. It was also Megan's first pop hit, reaching No. 7 on pop radio.

This is my fave song of hers. I remember celebs doing the Savage challange.

The remix was a moment no doubt.

Probably just because I prefer melodic over rhythmic, but I wasn’t a fan. The chorus is iconic tho

#335 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs 

You Know What It Is: Megan Thee Stallion’s first No. 1, thanks to an inspired redo of an already-signature hit with a brilliant Beyoncé verse — not so much a torch-passing between the Houston greats as a torch-sharing.

Sign ‘o’ the Times: The initial success of the song was so intertwined with the rise of TikTok — and particularly the early supremacy of dance challenges, in this case an arm-throwing, hip-swiveling routine patented by user Keara Wilson — that the platform got a shoutout from the Queen herself: “Hips TikTok when I dance…”

This Magic Moment: Gotta love in a hip-hop two-hander when the third verse is a trade-off between the two artists, especially here as Megan begins the verse shouting “Like Beyoncéééééé…../ Like me,” with Bey echoing “Like me!” in the background like she was Cutty on Trillville’s ’00s classic “Some Cut".

Hot take, but I like the original more than the remix.
