Oh boy, I gotta tell you about this thing I got into the other day. It’s all about this “Mama, there’s a girl behind you” thing. Sounds weird, right? Well, it kinda is.

So, I was scrolling through TikTok, just wasting time, you know? And I keep seeing these videos with people saying “Mama, there’s a girl behind you.” I was like, “What the heck is this all about?”
So, I started digging. Turns out, it’s from this video some kid made. She’s filming her mom, who’s just posing or something, and there’s this Snapchat filter thingy. It’s a bitmoji, and it pops up behind the mom. The girl, she’s all surprised, and she yells out, “Mama, there’s a girl behind you!”
- I watched the original video, and it’s kinda funny, I guess. The mom’s all serious, and the kid’s freaking out over a cartoon.
- Then I found out people are using this phrase all over the place. Sometimes it’s literal, like when there’s actually someone behind a person in a video.
- But sometimes, it’s like, deeper, man. They say it’s about the person you used to be, like your past self is “behind you.” Whoa.
I even tried making a few videos myself. I stood in my backyard and had my friend say the line. It felt kinda silly, but hey, it was something to do.
I also started commenting “Mama, there’s a girl behind you” on random videos. I don’t even know why, it just felt like the thing to do. Most people probably think I’m crazy, but a few got it. They replied with laughing emojis or some deep stuff about the past.
Honestly, the whole thing is a bit of a mess
It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s kinda deep if you think about it too much. But hey, that’s the internet for you. One day you’re watching cat videos, the next you’re yelling about imaginary girls behind people. Anyway, that’s my story about “Mama, there’s a girl behind you.” I spent way too much time on this, but it was a wild ride, if that makes any sense.
So yeah if you see that phrase, and wonder what it means, now you know that it is just a funny meme.
