Patrick Sébastien is a French entertainer, television presenter and singer of party songs, and "Toc toc", released in 2015, is the song behind the 2026 TikTok dance known as the toc toc trend. Toc Toc Dance AI is an independent tool and has no link to him; this page explains the song so you know what you are dancing to.
Who is Patrick Sébastien?
Patrick Sébastien is a well-known figure of French popular entertainment. He is a television presenter and variety performer, and he is known for upbeat party songs of the kind played at weddings, village festivals and family gatherings in France. Nothing about "Toc toc" is a new direction for him: it belongs to that tradition of songs you can sing and move to without any effort.
That context explains the trend. A song written for a dance floor full of ordinary people turned out to suit a clip where ordinary people hop and knock on a door with straight faces.
What is the song "Toc toc"?
"Toc toc" came out in 2015. It is a knock-knock party song: the chorus asks who is at the door, and the rest is playful and light. The line people search for is "Toc toc, on frappe à ma porte". We do not print the lyrics or a translation here, because they belong to their authors. The English page says what the song is about and where to find the official words.
It stayed a French favourite for years. Ten years after its release it returned through TikTok, which is a good example of a catalogue song being found by a new audience for reasons unrelated to the original.
Why "Kicékéla"?
Internet users renamed the song Kicékéla after its chorus, according to franceinfo, and the English page explains what the word means. If you searched for it and landed here, it is the same track. At our last check, Google Trends had no data for the word on its own, while "toc toc patrick sebastien" was rising through October 2026, so most people still search with his name.
How it went viral in 2026
Ten years after its release the song came back through a TikTok dance. Patrick Sébastien publicly thanked the people taking part, according to franceinfo. The dates and the spread are on the trend explainer, and the sound and the first video are on the original video page.
