JoJo Siwa, 21, teased a glimpse of an upcoming music video for her new single, Choose Your Fighter, in a TikTok video uploaded on Saturday
She wore a short-sleeved cropped jacket with shimmering gold elements and rhinestone decorations sewn onto the cloth.
JoJo also donned a sparkly bralette top and a pair of black slacks with huge cutouts down the sides.
The Dance Moms alum wrote in the caption, “Level up.” Choose your combatant,’ but did not provide the actual release date for the video.
Siwa wore white combat boots and fashioned her blonde hair into a neat ponytail, with some strands braided on top of her head.
To complete the appearance, the dancer chose dramatic face makeup with black and white face point and gold glitter around her eyes.
JoJo had the opportunity to demonstrate her dance abilities while executing some choreography, and she was accompanied by a squad of backup dancers.
She performed on a patch of dirt with a large structure towering behind her as smoke surrounded the media personality.
The reel then cut to Siwa standing behind a rock on a grassy hill as she pointed her finger towards an object off camera.
She later was seen walking along the dirt and dust as some of the backup dancers were laying on the ground, smoke still filling the air.
The teaser ended with Siwa taking a look at a scene that had been filmed on set, and excitedly yelled out, ‘D**n!’
Text was added over the clip in white lettering and read: ‘JoJo Siwa Choose Your Fighter Coming Soon.’

Social media users jumped to the comment section to share their thoughts on the upcoming music video, with one fan typing out, ‘It’s giving power rangers meets ancient Egypt.’
Others pointed out that the track was originally sung by music artist, Emeline, with one writing, ‘Didnt Emeline make this song?’
In response, JoJo explained, ‘She’s one of the 4 writers on it.’
The latest teaser for Choose Your Fighter comes shortly after Siwa revealed that she does not write her own songs.
In April, the TV personality dropped her single titled, Karma, which was soon wrapped up in controversy following claims that she had ‘stolen’ the song – which she denied.
The star also took to her TikTok page on Friday and expressed,Ā ‘I don’t WRITE my songs. I SING them. I have an incredible team of songwriters that write songs and pitch them to me to see if [they] wanna make the song mine!!’
‘It’s kinda like when you buy clothes… you don’t “MAKE” it, but it’s yours after you buy it! They also ALWAYS get their credit and, of course, their check.’
She added, ‘I do enjoy the writing process, however for me as an artist that is not my specialty so I like to work with different songwriters to sing their lyrcis, add a feeling to it, and ultimately bring the song to life!’

The latest teaser for Choose Your Fighter comes shortly after Siwa revealed that she does not write her own songs; seen in May in L.A.
In the caption, JoJo penned, ‘Couldn’t do my job with out my incredible team of song writersā¦ Solly, Emeline, Meghan Trainor, Matthew Koma, Rock Mafia, The Futuristics, and so many more.’
Throughout the background of the reel, she also played a snippet of her upcoming single, Choose Your Fighter.
‘Ok but emeline is the one SINGING this song,’ one TikTok user pointed out in the comments, with another adding, ‘But Emeline’s vocals are still on the track.’
Following the release of her Karma music video, claims surfaced that she had ‘stolen’ the song.
The track was originally recorded as Karma’s A B***h by Brit Smith in 2012 after Miley Cyrus passed on it for her 2010 album Can’t Be Tamed – but was never released.
While talking toĀ TMZĀ in April, Siwa – who recently ditched her family-friendly image amid a major rebrand – explained, ‘I did not steal anything.Ā There’s no such thing as stealing.’
‘What happens is people write songs, and then, they don’t do anything with them. Then, a few years later, it makes sense for another artist.’
JoJo added that the song was ‘old’ and expressed, ‘I was pitched it. I loved it, was obsessed with it, so I grasped onto it. That’s a very normal thing.’

Earlier this week, Siwa announced the debut of Choose Your Fighter in a brief clip uploaded on her personal Instagram page.
Siwa faced criticism for claiming to be establishing a new kind of music called ‘gay pop’ after releasing her lesbian romp music video for Karma.
However, she later admitted to inventing ‘gay pop’ but also stated that she wanted to make the genre ‘larger.’
While appearing onĀ SiriusXM’s Hits 1 Miami With Mack & Jen, she stated, ‘So, here’s the thing. Gay pop, right, is a thing that people have done, but it is not an official genre of music. You know what I mean?’
‘It is a style, but it is how there’s rap, there’s rock, there’s R&B, there’s pop. Gay pop is not an official genre of music. If you look on the iTunes charts, there is no – there’s a pop chart.’
JoJo added that ‘gay pop’ should have its own specific category, stating,Ā ‘Not just like, “Oh, I’m a gay pop artist.” Yes, there’s so many gay pop artists.’
‘Oh my God. There’s so many, but I think that those gay pop artists do deserve a bigger home than what they have right now.’
She was filmed sitting inside a dance studio and said, ‘For the last few weeks, the world has been f***ing brutal’
‘They’ve been talking so much s***, but I don’t give a f***,’ JoJo stated and then turned towards the camera to yell out, ‘Choose your fighter b***h!’
In the description of the post, JoJo wrote to her 11 million followers, ‘Ready or notā¦ here it comes’.
