What is the Raindance AI trend?
The Raindance AI trend turns one ordinary photo into a short music-video clip of you singing on a wooden pier at golden hour, styled after the video for “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. Posts usually open on the still photo, cut to the AI clip and run the Raindance sound underneath — solo, as a couple's duet, or as a meme with someone unexpected on the pier. Raindance AI makes that clip from one photo (two for a duet): a 8-second vertical 9:16 video on the golden-hour pier, on the pier in the rain or at a Lagos-style reception, with AI-generated vocals, from $6.99 with no subscription.

Raindance AI FAQ
What is the Raindance AI trend?
+
The Raindance AI trend turns one ordinary photo into a short music-video clip of you singing on a wooden pier at golden hour, styled after the video for “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. Posts usually open on the still photo, cut to the AI clip and run the Raindance sound underneath — solo, as a couple's duet, or as a meme with someone unexpected on the pier. Raindance AI makes that clip from one photo (two for a duet): a 8-second vertical 9:16 video on the golden-hour pier, on the pier in the rain or at a Lagos-style reception, with AI-generated vocals, from $6.99 with no subscription.
Is Raindance an AI song?
+
No. “Raindance” is a human-made song by British rapper Dave featuring Nigerian singer Tems, released on October 23, 2025 on Dave's album The Boy Who Played the Harp. Its music video, filmed in Lagos, Nigeria and released on January 9, 2026, helped push it to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart in January 2026. The “AI” in “Raindance AI” refers to the AI-made videos people post with the song, not to the song itself.
What song is used in the Raindance AI trend?
+
“Raindance” by Dave featuring Tems, from Dave's album The Boy Who Played the Harp. It has nothing to do with the Raindance Film Festival or its AI filmmaking courses.
Does my video include the Raindance song?
+
No. Your clip comes with AI-generated vocals so it feels live, but not the original recording. Add the Raindance sound inside TikTok, Reels or CapCut when you post — that links your video to the trend and avoids copyright blocks.
How do I add the Raindance sound on TikTok?
+
Upload your downloaded video in TikTok, tap Add sound, search “Raindance Dave Tems”, pick the trending clip, then open Volume and turn the original sound down. In Instagram Reels, use Add audio the same way.
How do I get the “photo, then cut to the pier” opening?
+
Many posts open on the still photo for a second before cutting to the video. In CapCut or the TikTok editor, put your original photo first for about one second, then your downloaded clip, and time the cut to the beat.
Is there a free Raindance AI video generator?
+
Most tools that make the full video charge for it, because every clip costs real GPU time; free tiers are usually limited, queued or watermarked. Here each 8-second video is paid once with no subscription and no watermark, and you can watch real, unedited sample outputs before you pay.
How much does it cost?
+
1 video $6.99, 3 video takes $14.99, 10 video takes $39.99. One-time payment, no subscription and no account. Unused videos never expire and there's no watermark.
Can I make a Raindance duet with my partner?
+
Yes. Upload a second photo and the clip becomes a duet: photo 1 stands on the left, photo 2 on the right, and each person keeps their own face, hair and outfit.
Which photos work best?
+
One person per photo, face clearly visible and roughly facing the camera, in good light. Chest-up or waist-up selfies are ideal. Avoid sunglasses, heavy filters, group photos and tiny faces.
How long does it take?
+
Usually a few minutes. You can close the page — we email you when it's ready, and you download the 9:16 MP4 from your result page.
Does it use Dave's or Tems' face, voice or the original music video?
+
No. Every clip is a newly generated scene with only the people from your photos. Nothing from the original video is copied, and Raindance AI is an independent tool, not affiliated with Dave, Tems, their labels or the Raindance Film Festival.
What if my video fails or looks wrong?
+
If a generation fails, its video credit comes back automatically and you can try again. If the result clearly isn't the person in your photo, email us within 7 days and we'll remake it.
Do I have to label it as AI on TikTok?
+
Yes. TikTok requires creators to label realistic AI-generated video. Turn on the AI-generated content setting under More options before posting.
What happens to my photos?
+
They're used only to make your video. We don't sell them, share them or use them to train models, and uploads and videos are deleted automatically after 30 days.
Can I use a photo of someone else?
+
Only with their permission, and with a parent's or guardian's consent for anyone under 18. Don't use the trend to impersonate real people or public figures.
