The accompanying chiptune song, composed by Thomas Ename (Tomo), described Steve in the most wonderfully absurd terms in French: he is orange, he is a fish, he has arms and legs. The phrase \u003cstrong\u003eLe Poisson Steve\u003c\/strong\u003e is French for \"Steve the Fish.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe video was conceived as a playful nod to France's Poisson d'Avril (April Fools) tradition and grew out of a moment of creative spontaneity. Within days it had accumulated over 8.5 million views and 1.1 million likes on TikTok alone, with a further 495,900 likes on Instagram. Fan animators immediately began producing 3D renders, remixes and comedic spinoffs, one 3D fan animation by user @leo.ako pulling in over 4.6 million views in just four days. By mid April 2025 The New York Times had published a feature on the phenomenon, cementing \u003cstrong\u003eSteve the Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e as a genuine cultural moment that crossed language barriers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003esad variant\u003c\/strong\u003e of the meme became its own beloved sub-character: the same unmistakable orange fish and long human limbs, but now with a drooping expression that fans found irresistibly relatable.

Despite being sung entirely in French, the melody became a global earworm, with English-speaking fans across TikTok and other platforms singing along or creating subtitled versions almost immediately after the original post. The phrase \u003cstrong\u003eSteve the Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e is now used widely in English-language meme communities as a shorthand for the character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n        \u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"faq-question\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhy does \u003cstrong\u003eSteve the Fish\u003c\/strong\u003e have arms and legs?\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv class=\"faq-answer\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n                \u003cdiv itemprop=\"text\"\u003e\n                    \u003cp\u003eThe arms and legs are entirely the result of creator Vigz's surreal, absurdist design sensibility.

It emerged organically from the meme community as creators explored different emotional states for the lovable fish.
