The Maui Wowie trend is where people hang from street signs, traffic lights, or poles while Kid Cudi’s song “Maui Wowie” plays in the background. The lyric “Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that, that Maui Wowie” is the cue, and most videos show people lip-syncing to that part while suspended in the air. It’s similar to the On Sight trend from earlier this year, where users also filmed themselves hanging or posing in unusual spots. Please be careful if you’re trying to join in. Hanging from signs or climbing unsafe spots just for a video can lead to serious injuries, and no trend is worth getting hurt over.

A Strain of Hawaiian Cannabis that is Now a Meme on TikTok

Maui Wowie is the name of a Hawaiian cannabis strain, but on TikTok, the phrase doesn’t really have anything to do with that. It’s used because of Kid Cudi’s song “Maui Wowie”, which became the soundtrack for a trend where people hang from street signs or poles while lip-syncing to the lyric “Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that, that Maui Wowie.” The phrase has become part of the trend’s identity rather than its original meaning, and most people just see it as a fun, recognizable moment in the song.

Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that
That Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie
Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that
That Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high

Yeah, back up in the mix
Aloha, Cudi lookin’ for a fix
Got enough saved just to take a trip
To catch a little piece of that Maui Wowie
Oh man, here we go again
If you ever get a chance, share it with a friend
Me and Pat on a mission to get
Lifted like John Legend and ****
Get lifted
Let’s get lifted
What you gon’ cop? Maybe a dub, maybe a zone
No matter what you cop, you should play it ’til it’s gone
Walkin’ on the beach with the sand between your feet
And all the Hawaiian girls sing to the beat
“Hey, what it do, boo?
You vibin’ good? Yeah, me too”
Livin’ in paradise, all through the night
And even in the day, smile ’til I can’t see
What can I say? Nothin’ like this in the world, homie
Make you feel great, you forget you in the States, might relocate
So you vibe to all the Maui Wowie you can take, like

Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that
That Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie
Goin’ back to Honolulu just to get that
That Maui Wowie, that Maui Wowie
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high
(And I’m so high) And I’m so high (Ah-ah)

I know, I know, I know

I really need to go, go, go, go, go, go

Really need to go, go

Really need to go, go, go

Man, I need Maui Wowie

I smoke that Maui Wowie

I need Maui Wowie

I smoke that Maui Wowie

I know, I know, I know

You really need to go, go

Really need to go, go, go

Man, I need Maui Wowie

I smoke that Maui Wowie
