What is the TikTok Hype House?

It is a Spanish-style mansion in Los Angeles where only the members or collaborators have access to.
It has an enormous backyard, a pool, and palace-like interiors.

The collective TikTok account has 7.5million followers, and features videos of the group filming in the home.
“This whole house is designed for productivity. If you want to party, there’s hundreds of houses that throw parties in LA every weekend,” said Thomas Petrou, one of the founders.
“We don’t want to be that. This house is about creating something big, and you can’t do that if you’re going out on the weekends.”

Charli never publicly commented on Still Softish.
Chase tweeted a cryptic response to the song and reacted to the music video on-camera for a video on Bryce’s YouTube channel, but never explicitly confirmed or denied the song’s allegations.
