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 vertical 9:16 face-swap video using your chosen template, preserving its scene, performance and sound, 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 vertical 9:16 face-swap video using your chosen template, preserving its scene, performance and sound, 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?
+
Your video uses the selected template’s sound. Play the preview with sound before choosing it. To use the official Raindance recording, add it from TikTok or Reels when you post.
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 template 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. Sign in to save your videos. Unused videos never expire and there's no watermark.
Can I make a Raindance duet with my partner?
+
Yes. Choose Golden-Hour Duet or Reception Duet, then upload a photo for each performer. The faces change while the original template performance stays in place.
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. This page checks your task automatically. Sign in to return to your latest result and download it.
Does it use Dave's or Tems' face, voice or the original music video?
+
We use the video templates shown on this site, not the Dave and Tems music video. Your uploaded face replaces a template performer. Raindance AI is independent and is 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?
+
Your photos are sent to our generation provider and stored to deliver your video. Contact support@raindanceai.org for deletion requests. See the privacy policy for details.
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.
