Honey has teamed up with viral video star Adam Bartha for the track, which the pair co-wrote and which she raps on.

Honey Boo Boo’s show was cancelled last year after allegations that Alana’s mother, Mama June, was dating a convicted child sex offender.
The song has already proved to be an earworm for some Twitter fans.
Honey boo boo bop, do the honey boo boo bop! ✌🏻️🎶
