The pair grew up with the sounds of Michael Jackson, Usher, Missy Elliot and Chris Brown. The duo grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan. They honed their dancing skills in elementary school, they started as LesTwins copycats, later establishing a popular social media page that issued viral dance challenges. "Rolex" happened to be one of these hits, eventually racking up over 80 million streams on YouTube and storming the Billboard Hot 100. Wearing their trademark bear facemasks, they issued their first single, "In Reverse," in 2016. They danced in Usher's video for "No Limit" and at the 2016 BET Awards, later signing with Columbia Records. "Lit Right Now" arrived in early 2017, but was soon eclipsed by the infectious anthem "Rolex," which echoed similar trap-influenced pop hits like Migos' "Bad and Boujee," Rae Sremmurd's "Black Beatles," and D.R.A.M.'s "Broccoli". Ayo & Teo kicked off with a number of pics and vids reposted by Chris Brown, the two are now rubbing elbows and sharing stages with the very people that influenced them the most. Most recently being invited and flown out to perform by Usher himself, the boys shared the 2016 BET Awards stage with the R&B phenom. The duo quickly developed their own unique brand of dancing and began to upload YouTube videos from their basement and living room. With zero promotion, and strictly through the power of social media, they began to gain mass appeal by creating and having their “dance challenges” reposted to some of Instagram’s most popular dance pages. Recognizing this as their main outlet, the younger of the brothers (Teo) created what has become an instant phenomenon and their moniker – “The Reverse“. Simply reversing the steps to some of world’s best dance crazes, their Reverse of the “Nae Nae” went viral overnight, on every posted outlet, and received over 150 million views.
Ayo is aged 20 and Teo is currently 17.
Their dancing style highly resembles that of Les Twins, a popular dancing duo from France.

Other plans
I said, girl, you don't let no man grab you by the hand
You got other, uh
I said, girl, you don′t let no man grab you by the hand
Yeah, you got other plans
At the end of the day, he just wanna get in your pants
Baby tryna stack up her bands
Eight car garage, she wanna own it
Have her own brand
Take a look at me and the Brodie's
Yeah, we like our own band, uh
God′s plan, y′all ain't understandin′ what I'm sayin′
Girl we can, we can
And we don't gotta put it on the gram
Shit, we might take a flight to Japan
Or Dubai, see the lights in the sky when land
You realize we some young niggas
We been all over the planet
Got clear eyеs, you see (see)
We got memories (yeah)
Don′t carе about accessories (no)
No more (no more)
No more, no more

You know that I got you, we make our departures
Handshakes like Maracas
I stick with my partners
But when I'm with you
This shit feel so awesome on God, God
We can pray together, through the night if you lonely
Caressin′ your body, the ring get the showin′
You flowin', you pourin′ and dangerous like oceans, yeah
I gotta applaude what you doing lil' baby
Four for four with extra thighs lil′ baby
And you so smart, whole package untamed
Nice attitude and don't fuck with no lames
Took a long time just to catch your fade
If I lose you through this, I lose me
How many U and I for you and me
Yeah, shawty it′s eerie outside
And I know they tryna betray me to save you
And know that you're my baby, I need you
And the shit been goin' crazy, I hear you
And I′m near you, yeah
Don′t do no threats
I'm better when I′m with you, yeah, I swear I'm better
Gave you my ′Sace sweater
Haters can kick rocks, I'm fed up
The weather is cold
I asked God to protect my soul
While me and my brothers stroll up road
I said girl you don′t let no man grab you by the hand
Yeah, you got other plans
At the end of the day, he just wanna get in your pants
Workin' so hard and you been lonely
Baby tryna stack up her bands
Eight car garage, she wanna own it

The lyrics to Ayo & Teo's "I Got You Girl" talk about a man who recognizes a girl who is independent and has other plans in life besides being grabbed by a man, who just wants to get into her pants. The man goes on to appreciate and admire the girl's hard work to stack up bands and create her own brand. He expresses his desire to be with her and spend quality time without the need to showcase their love on social media. He goes on to say that he has traveled extensively, and as young men, they have seen it all. He then acknowledges the girl's intelligence, attitude, and her ability to distinguish between a lame and a genuine person. The man ends the song by promising to be better and to protect his soul as he walks on the road with his brothers.
This song celebrates a woman's independence and a man's appreciation for it. The lyrics break down gender stereotypes by acknowledging a woman's ability to succeed and create her brand. The song's artistic liberty to disregard the social media frenzy gives room for the importance of the moment between two people in love. The promise to be better and the desire to protect one's soul while walking through life shows maturity and realiness to grow.
