DaBaby is back on screens, and he brought the whole party with him. The official music video for Pop Dat Thang premiered on March 13, 2026, giving fans a vibrant visual companion to one of the most infectious tracks from his fifth studio album Be More Grateful. Directed by DaBaby and Nick Mays, the clip opens with the rapper seated at a piano surrounded by dancers, before cutting to a massive parking garage party where the energy never lets up for a single second.
The result is exactly what fans have come to expect from DaBaby at his best — charismatic, high-energy, and impossible to ignore. Within hours of the premiere, the video had already racked up hundreds of thousands of views, with fans flooding the comments section with praise for both the visuals and the track itself.
Pop Dat Thang Delivers Pure Club Energy
Pop Dat Thang is a fast-paced, club-ready track built on an uptempo beat with heavy bounce and infectious sampled vocals. DaBaby raps about a woman who captures his attention through her dancing, using his signature confident delivery to drive the track from the first bar to the last. The production leans into an early-2000s-coded bounce that feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
What makes the track stand out within DaBaby’s catalog is the shift in approach. Rather than leaning on his usual aggression, he prioritizes riding the beat with a more relaxed cadence — and the result works beautifully. The official video amplifies every element of the song, with flashing lights, standout dancers, and a crowd fully locked into the moment from start to finish. Two standout plus-sized performers commanding the dance floor became an immediate talking point among fans online.
The visual captures exactly the carefree, celebratory spirit that has made Pop Dat Thang one of the most streamed cuts from the entire album.

Be More Grateful Is a Statement Album
Pop Dat Thang is one of the brightest moments from Be More Grateful, a 23-track project that arrived on January 30, 2026. The album debuted at No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums, No. 9 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and No. 25 on the Billboard 200, moving 24,000 units in its debut week — a strong opening for an artist who has spent the last two years rebuilding his commercial standing.
The project balances fast-paced, club-ready records with introspective moments centered on family, gratitude, and personal growth. Standout moments include
- Hunxho on Make You Mine
- Coi Leray on Boomerang
- Out Ya Business and Letter to My YN among fan favorites
- Don’t Insult Me featuring his daughter Twin — one of the most personal moments on the album
