The Raindance AI trend recasts a two-person music video set to "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems: one person waits at the end of a wooden dock, the other sings to the camera by the water, and they end up side by side on the beach. ZapVid puts you in as the singer and your partner, best friend or sibling on the dock, with the same shots, cuts and mouth timing as the trend. Choose 16 seconds (100 credits) or the full 29 seconds (300 credits). It takes 5 to 15 minutes.

What is the Raindance AI trend?
The trend is built on "Raindance", a song by the British rapper Dave featuring the Nigerian singer Tems. Its official music video went up on YouTube on January 9, 2026.
In late September 2026 people started recreating the video with AI, putting themselves, their partners, their friends and even cartoon characters into the two roles. The earliest AI version we found was posted on TikTok on September 27, 2026, and one posted on October 2 passed 54 million views. Searches for "raindance ai" peaked on October 3, 2026.
The version everyone copies is a 29-second, 4:3 clip with 11 shots: the wait on the dock, the singing close-ups, a photo on the dock and the two of you on the beach at sunset. Our template follows that clip with an original AI couple, and your video puts your faces in their place.

Choose 16 seconds or the full 29 seconds. The AI keeps every shot, cut and mouth movement of the trend. Your video is ready in 5 to 15 minutes, and you can leave the page while it renders.
- 04
Post it with the sound
Download the MP4. When you post on TikTok or Instagram Reels, add the "Raindance" sound by Dave and Tems in the app. The singing lines up because the timing matches the trend.
Photo tips
- One person per photo, facing the camera, face fully visible.
- Head to waist or knees works best, so your outfit carries over.
- Use your sharpest photo for the singer. That role gets every close-up.
- Avoid sunglasses, hats, heavy filters and mirror selfies.
Who to make it with
Your partner
The classic version. Send it on an anniversary, or post it as your couple trend of the week.
Your best friend
Two friends playing a dramatic love story is funnier than the real thing.
Your sibling or parent
Put your mom on the dock and sing to her. It works as a birthday surprise.
Your pet
Upload your dog or cat as the partner waiting on the dock. Results vary, and the people version is the most reliable.
