TikTok's 'Born A Hero' Trend Asks, 'What Is A Hero?'

Born a Hero, Tail Lights Out refers to the song "Hero" by Skyper, which was popularized through a meme trend on TikTok in March 2026. The song was released in November 2017. In December 2025, TikTokers began using it for video edits. In February 2026, it was used over a viral AI video of Erika Kirk freestyle rapping on Off the Radar. In March, the video inspired a trend where the "born a hero" portion plays over an image of a subject, followed by footage of them twerking, dancing, doing something sus or funny as the lyrics "tail lights out" play, with some examples featuring AI videos of the subject.
