About

We Got Prime Boys, continued We Got Prime, refers to a viral TikTok video from TikToker @shanajungkrant (also known as @mrs_shana27) who recorded her young son singing about having Prime Energy Drink in the car. The video was perceived as cringe by many on the platform, who made memes, remixes and recreations of the song and viral video in May 2023. The video added to the growing perception of Gen Alpha boys (specifically British and American boys) being obsessed with the energy drink by Logan Paul and KSI.

We got Prime," and also namedropped various flavors like blue raspberry and ice pop, among others. Over the course of one week, the video gained roughly 4.6 million plays and 379,200 likes (shown below).
