The infectious “Bacon, Egg, and Cheese” track by New York rapper Wavyrioo has surged in popularity, becoming a trending sensation on TikTok in recent months. This catchy song, released in 2022, initially celebrated the quintessential New York City breakfast sandwich but has evolved into a cultural meme in 2025.
Central to the TikTok trend is the phrase, “How you know I’m Dominican?” which serves as an effective punchline complemented by the upbeat tune. Users often create humorous memes featuring Dominican men in stylish attire, particularly emphasizing tight jeans and fitted shirts, playing into a common stereotype about their fashion choices.
In addition, TikTok content creators have embraced various popular formats, including the Druski Dancing format, while incorporating well-known figures from the Dominican community, including beloved streamer Fanum.
The Birth of the ‘Bacon, Egg, and Cheese’ Song
The track, titled “Bacon, Egg N Cheese, ” features collaborations with artists D-Dotty and DellyDell. It premiered on March 30, 2022, through a vibrant YouTube music video set in a New York deli, where the artists enthusiastically chant the catchy refrain, repeating “Bacon, egg, and cheese.”
The song began to gain traction on TikTok when Wavyrioo shared a clip from the original video on August 24, 2022, which quickly racked up over 1.7 million views. Although its popularity was initially subdued, the song re-emerged as a beloved meme format in February 2025.
How the Trend Exploded on TikTok
The tipping point came on February 4, when TikTok user yoloc0n shared a video featuring a dance routine set to Wavyrioo’s catchy tune, accompanied by the caption, “I’m from NYC.” This post rapidly gained traction within the platform.
