Are You Coming To The Tree? refers to a series of TikTok videos referencing a sound clip created by TikToker @shykaden that features someone singing "are you coming to the tree?" over Doja Cat's "Say So." The sound became popular in April 2020 and was initially used in I had a dream where I kissed my crush edits. The phrase "are you coming to the tree" then became used in comedic, surreal and cursed TikTok videos. The lyrics "Are You Coming to The Tree" are from the song "The Hanging Tree," recorded for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay film.
