The trend uses the eponymous song by Future and shows the different sides of professionals when they're not working.
The videos typically start by showing different professionals having a good time clubbing, then cut to the sharp contrast of them in the morning.
It has attracted people from all walks of life, including police officers, bankers, HR managers, and even a governor.
One of the most viral videos featured a TikTok user named @__melanieee._, who was seen enjoying herself at the club at 2 a.m.

Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya posted a video showing him interacting with villagers at night. The on-screen text indicated it was 11 p.m.

The video then switched to show the county boss looking dapper at 9 a.m. Natembeya donned a dark grey suit and white shirt while in his office.
