Everyday we uncover new horrors on the internet. Singaporean Mandopop star JJ Lin has collaborated with Jackie Chan to drop a brand-new track named Skibidi. Yes, the Gen-Alpha slang term ‘skibidi’ of human-headed toilet fame that recently made it into the Cambridge Dictionary. This development truly presents a new depth of skibidi toilet Ohio rizz.
Debuting globally on radio stations across Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, and mainland China on August 27, the dance electro track is said to embody Lin and Chan’s professional ethos of giving it their all, featuring lyrics that rhyme ‘skibidi’ with ‘We will not skip a beat!’. This song marks the first time that Chan has ventured into electronic music.
Skibidi was composed by Lin himself, while the lyrics were written by Harry Chang of the disbanded Taiwanese group Da Mouth. Introducing the song on radio, Lin said, “My own understanding is that when there are certain matters or feelings that you are unable to express clearly in words, skibidi is a relaxed way of expressing them.”
Sure, the track is upbeat but in all honesty it’s too cringey for us to appreciate. The 44-year-old Lin has released some fantastic ballads over his two-decade career so this move sadly feels like a downgrade. Meanwhile, the 71-year-old Chan trying to spit bars with Gen-Alpha slang just strikes us as being desperate to stay relevant – or, as the kids would say, him trying to aura farm but ending up with L rizz.
Skibidi will be released on streaming platforms on August 29, but you can listen to the radio clip below, so let us know what you think!
