Popular as a campfire song， it has taken off since 2016， spreading through social media， online video， and radio. ＂Baby Shark＂ originated from a campfire song or chant. Some sources have mentioned traditional myths as a basis， others camping origins in the early 20th century， and some see it as possibly developed by camp counselors inspired by the movie Jaws.
