Overview

"My Name Is David," also called "Jackie's Box" FNAF Mimic Song, is a fan-made track built around characters tied to The Mimic, the villain of the upcoming game Five Nights at Freddy's: Secret of the Mimic and the Tales from the Pizzaplex book series1. XTRATUNA writes verses for Edwin Murray, David Sean Murray and The Mimic itself, each with a distinct vocal performance that leans into the lore13.

The viral hook is David's deadpan verse, where he introduces himself with the flat line "My name is David" and then responds to a child asking for ice cream by repeating that his name is, in fact, David27. Fans quote the exchange as a shorthand for stilted FNAF dad dialogue, and short clips of the verse are circulated more often than the full song24.

On December 1st, 2024, YouTuber XTRATUNA posted "'JACKIE'S BOX' – FNAF MIMIC SONG (Secret Of The Mimic Original Song)" to YouTube, where it collected more than 328,000 views in its first week1. The song's structure gives separate verses to Edwin Murray, David Sean Murray and The Mimic, framing the lore of Secret of the Mimic through character-sung monologues1.

Scott Cawthon's studio makes the FNAF games and books that supply the lore; XTRATUNA is a fan musician who wrote and produced the song independently, and the "My Name Is David" lyric came directly from their David verse13.

How It Spread

Spread was driven almost entirely by TikTok reaction clips. On December 2nd, 2024, TikToker @livelaughlesbian87 posted David's verse with the caption "move over like a disguise and reflection the best mimic song just dropped," collecting over 343,000 views within a week2. The next day, @thetalbertfiles1 cut up Edwin's verse into its own TikTok, which pushed past 700,000 views in six days and expanded the song's audience beyond David's bit3.

HugeDragoon posted a nightcore remix on December 4th that passed 9,000 views in five days5, and on December 7th, FNAF streamer Dawko reacted to the song at the 2:12:00 mark of his "Thanksmas 2024" charity VOD, which collected more than 200,000 views in two days6.

By December 8th, the lyric was being quoted on X. User @DeepWokey replied to a Boykiss Christmas song post with the XTRATUNA track and the line "Listen to some real music instead," collecting over 8,300 likes in a day7. The same day, @fallenchungus posted a Gunna writing fire edit captioned "'My name is David. Dad I want some ice cream.
