A new trend is likely taking over your TikTok feed, with people declaring they have landed a spot in the elite “group 7.”
But what does “group 7” actually mean, and how do you know you’re part of it?
It all started with singer Sophie James posting a series of videos on her TikTok account last week to promote her song, “So Unfair.” After posting three videos, two about getting a parking ticket and one about how she’s “always winning,” she shared a fourth video directed to her fans.
“If you’re seeing this you are in group 4,” she wrote in the text over the video, which featured “So Unfair” playing in the background. “I am posting a bunch of videos and seeing which ones reach the most viewers. This is the fourth post of the batch, so you are group 4.”
In the next two videos, she said that fans who saw those were either a part of “group 5” or “group 6.” James concluded her series with a seventh video, in which she informed viewers that they were part of “group 7.”

“I have posted seven videos tonight, and this is the seventh one. Just a little science experiment to see what kind of video gets the most reach,” she said. “I don’t know what that says about you, but you’re in group 7! Welcome!”
In the comments of that clip, which has more than 15 million views, TikTok users declared that “group 7” was the best of the bunch.
“I hereby declare group 7 is the most elite group,” one commented, while another quipped: “Can you imagine not being Group 7.”
“Put all the baddies in group 7,” a third wrote.
A fourth commented: “I fear group 7 is the best group.”
Meanwhile, many TikTok users have shared their own videos to celebrate the fact that they’re in group seven.
A woman named Camille shared a clip of her walking outside with sunglasses on, along with the caption: “Good morning group 7!!! I hope we all have the best day.”
Barbara Corcoran, a signature panelist on Shark Tank, even joined in. She showed off her muscles while on the set of the reality show in a TikTok video. “How it feels waking up in group seven,” she wrote in the text over the clip, which featured “So Unfair.”
“What a time to be alive,” Corcoran added in the caption.
Meanwhile, James is taking the trend outside of TikTok. In a section of her website called “group 7,” she revealed that she’s planning a meet-up for the members of this clan, taking place at The Bedford Pub in London on Friday, October 24, at 8 p.m.
