Here’s the song behind the viral #HandcuffChallenge!
By Bryan Durham - February 6, 2019
Chances are you’ve seen something called the #HandcuffChallenge pop up on your social media/TikTok timelines every now and then in the last few days. Also known as the #JustYouAndIChallenge, it has you and a friend/your partner being ‘bound’ together as you carry on an everyday activity, while cuffed to each other.
A nod to the video of the Tom Walker song, Just You And I, it’s a video challenge that went viral in India with the likes of Sunny Leone (along with husband Daniel Weber) taking up the challenge while working out…
They’re not alone though, the biggest names on TikTok and Instagram have taken to this challenge in a big way. From TV superstars like Siddharth Nigam and Avneet Kaur to dance sensations like Melvin Louis and Awez Darbar to social stars like Nagma Mirajkar, Mrunal Panchal and Anam Darbar among others are hooked to a track that’s really melodic.
The fun part of this challenge is that you don’t have to go shopping for cuffs and draw bemused/shocked/curious stares from people to take part. Those who have done the challenge have ‘tied’ themselves to their phones, shoes and even TV sets. In short, tie yourself to something or someone you can’t live without.
We reached out to Sunny who said, “Doing the #HandcuffChallenge in the gym was so much fun! BTW, I absolutely love the song Just You & I.” Nargis Fakhri was also seen also crushing on the cute video created by Sunny!
