Denise Belfon “Put Your Back In It” song lives new life on TikTok

by Chrislyn Lashington

Denise Belfon’s Work It is living a new life on TikTok!

Her iconic words “Put your back in it” has been used in DJ Flex’s Afrobeat song given the title “Put your back in it.” Now on the trending video-sharing social media app TikTok, Soca lovers have been dancing to the song. The storyline typically includes a dance instructor encouraging students to dance harder by putting their back into it. 

The song has been used in 13.2 thousand videos so far. Even well known Grenadian entertainer Duwan shared his version yesterday that included him wining with a whole bunch of bananas.

Then Denise Belfon entered the chat by dropping her signature wining moves to her own voice on the tune. It’s safe to say that she kilt it and basically told us that we should all go back to wining school.

by Chrislyn Lashington

V’ghn’s Trouble in the Morning has been declared Pan Tune of the Decade by When Steel Talks. The melodic tune has been played in panorama competitions in Grenada, the United Kingdom, New York and so far at least 11 steel orchestras have chosen it as their tune for the 2020 Trinidad & Tobago National Panorama.

When Steel Talks mentioned that Trouble in the Morning has struck a musical chord within the steel band movement and has contributed to the shift of using popular songs within Panorama. 

Band from Space by Amrit Samaroo and Edwin Crazy Ayoung was the best pan tune of the previous decade ending 2009.

V’ghn’s Trouble in the Morning landed him third place at the 2019 International Soca Monarch competition in Trinidad and he is the reigning Groovy Soca Monarch of Grenada, after tying with 4-time winner Dash.
