My Boo (Ghost Town DJ's song)

"My Boo" is a song by the American hip hop group Ghost Town DJ's, released in 1996. It achieved moderate success upon its initial release, charting on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. However, it experienced a significant resurgence in popularity in 2016 due to "The Running Man Challenge," a viral dance craze on social media platforms like Vine and Instagram, which used the song as its backing track.

Following the resurgence in popularity, "My Boo" re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 27, significantly outperforming its original charting. Its renewed success led to increased recognition for the Ghost Town DJ's and solidified the song's place in popular culture, particularly as a nostalgic anthem for the mid-1990s R&B sound. It has been featured in various media, including films and television shows, and continues to be a popular song for dance challenges and online content creation.
