What is the Rain Dance AI trend?
The Rain Dance AI trend is a photo-to-video recreation of the seaside music-video look associated with Dave and Tems’ “Raindance.” In the two-person version, you and a friend appear in a sunset duet without filming at the beach. The scene is instantly recognisable: a wooden pier by the sea, warm sunset light, and two performers trading lines with the playful hand moves of the "Raindance" dance challenge. A popular presentation is a still photo followed by an AI clip timed to the music.
Which song is the trend based on?
The soundtrack is "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems, released in October 2025 on Dave's album The Boy Who Played the Harp. The song itself is human-made, not AI. Billboard reported its UK number-one position in January 2026. Its official video was filmed in Lagos and includes reception and beach scenes. The AI recreation is a separate way to join the trend; there is no verified single creator or launch date for all the AI versions.
Why the duet format is appealing
- It is made for duos. Adult friends, couples and siblings can try it together with consent.
- The reveal is built in. A photo-to-video transition makes the transformation easy to follow.
- It looks cinematic. The sunset pier scene feels like a real music video, even on a phone.

Photo tips for the best result
- One person per photo, with the whole face visible and in focus.
- Shoulders-up or half-body shots work better than distant full-body photos.
- Soft, even light; avoid sunglasses, masks and heavy beauty filters.
- Only use photos of people who agreed to it: never celebrities, public figures or minors.
How to share the photo-to-video reveal
Start with a one-second still of your two photos, cut to the video on the beat, and add tags such as #raindance and #raindanceaitrend. TikTok requires creators to label realistic AI-generated content: before posting, tap More options and turn on the AI-generated content setting.
