The short answer

The Raindance AI trend is the TikTok and Reels edit where your photo becomes a music-video shot of you on a wooden pier above the sea at golden hour, rain glittering in the low sun, singing slowly to the camera. It is posted with "Raindance", the song by Dave and Tems. Here you add one photo (or one of each person for a duet) and get the clip in a few minutes, no app or editing; then add the Raindance sound from the TikTok or Instagram library when you post. A 5-second clip costs 5 credits, and a render that fails is never charged.

The Raindance shot, from your own photo

The Raindance AI trend took over TikTok and Reels at the start of October 2026: a short clip that turns an ordinary photo into a music-video shot of you at the end of a wooden pier, the sun low and gold behind you, warm rain starting to fall, singing slowly to the camera. Every post runs on "Raindance", the Dave and Tems song, which is why people search for the trend by name.

Here the effect starts from your own photo. Add one of you, or one of each person if you want a duet, and the pier, the light, the rain and the slow push-in are all built around your faces.

How to do the Raindance AI trend

  1. Add a photo. A clear selfie or waist-up shot. For two people, add one photo of each, or one photo of both of you.
  2. Keep Raindance selected. Or pick another effect from the grid.
  3. Make it. The clip is ready in a few minutes. Download it.
  4. Post it with the song. Upload the clip to TikTok or Instagram Reels, tap Add sound and pick "Raindance" by Dave and Tems. Lower the clip's own audio if you only want the song.

What you get

  • The golden-hour pier. A weathered wooden pier above a calm sea, the sun flaring behind you.
  • The rain. Warm summer rain that catches the light, hair and clothes slowly getting wet.
  • The performance. Singing slowly and softly to the lens, eyes half closed, hand on the chest, while the camera pushes in.
  • Its own soundtrack. An original slow R&B song with rain and waves, so the clip also works without the Raindance sound.

Tips for a better Raindance clip

  • Use a clear, front-facing photo. Your face is followed from the photo, so a sharp, well-lit picture matters most.
  • Waist-up beats full-body. The shot is a close music-video frame; tiny faces in a group photo are harder to keep.
  • For a duet, match the photos. Two pictures of about the same framing look most natural side by side.
  • Only use photos you have the right to use. Your own, or a friend's with their permission.

After the Raindance AI trend

The Raindance AI trend is a slow, sung moment. If you want the two of you rapping instead, the studio's rap tab makes the Hotel Lobby AI style video with an original song about your names. For more one-photo trends like the AI zombie trend, see all AI video effects.

FAQ

Raindance AI trend: questions

  • A TikTok and Instagram Reels format from autumn 2026: an AI clip puts you on a wooden pier above the sea at golden hour, often with rain falling, singing slowly into the camera like a music video. People post it with "Raindance" by Dave and Tems as the sound.

  • Add a clear photo of yourself, or one photo of each person for a duet, keep Raindance selected and tap Make the effect. In a few minutes you can download the clip. Upload it to TikTok or Reels and pick "Raindance" by Dave and Tems from the sound library.

  • No. The clip comes with its own original slow song and the sound of rain and waves, so it works on its own. To match the trend, add the official "Raindance" sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post; their libraries are licensed for that, and you can lower the original audio there.

  • "Raindance" by British rapper Dave featuring Nigerian singer Tems, from Dave's third album The Boy Who Played the Harp, released on 23 October 2025. It later reached number one on the UK singles chart.

  • Yes. Add a photo of each person, or one photo of the two of you, and you stand side by side on the pier and sing together. One photo of one person works too.

  • It starts at 5 seconds, which costs 5 credits; you can make it longer or sharper before rendering. Credits come in one-time packs (the $9.99 Single holds 10 credits) or optional monthly plans, and a render that fails is never charged.

  • No. It runs in the browser on your phone or computer, and the pier, the golden light, the rain and the slow camera move are already written into the effect, so there is nothing to prompt or edit.
