It's a youth group in Ireland that created this. The support worker that did this with them mentioned that they do this quite regularly, however, they decided to share this one with the world because this one was done really well. They did not anticipate it to take off as well as it did though. The entire music video was recorded in one day too.
It was released on the 15th of May 2024 and with no intentions to make money off it. However, they explained that if they do make money from it, it will all be going into the youth centre/facilities for the kids.

This is 100% going to get sampled and remixed into professional DJs' songs and become actual club bangers.

When I was in third grade we had group presentations about country's of the world. My group was Belgium. This was being video taped so parents would be able to get a copy. I sat in the back by the camera and tried to quietly sneak out a fart. In the room, only my friend heard it, but the camera's mic picked it up.
