Short answer: a Raindance AI video recreates the music video of “Raindance” by Dave featuring Tems with other people in it — usually you and your partner or a friend. To make one, open the Raindance AI Video Generator, upload a photo of the person who waits on the pier and one of the person who sings, and press Generate. A few minutes later you download the clip with the “Raindance” sound already on it. No app, no filming, no prompt.
What is the Raindance AI trend?
“Raindance” is a song by British rapper Dave featuring Nigerian singer Tems. Its music video is a quiet seaside story: a man waits at the end of a wooden pier while Tems sings to him by the water. In late September 2026 TikTok users started recreating that scene with AI, casting themselves and their partner, best friends, pets, cartoon characters — or famous rivals as a joke — in the two roles.
Unlike most AI trends, this one is not a joke at heart. The mood is soft and cinematic, so people use it the way they would use a love song: for anniversaries, long-distance relationships, a best friend's birthday. The funny versions come from casting people who clearly should not be in a romantic music video.
Is Raindance an AI song?
No. The song is a real recording by Dave and Tems. Only the videos in the trend are AI-generated. The clip from the generator comes with the part of the song the trend uses, so you do not need to add music.
What happens in a Raindance AI video
- The wait: the first person sits or stands at the end of a wooden pier, looking out to sea.
- The song: the second person sings by the water, turned toward the pier.
- The light changes: the scene moves into warm golden hour.
- Together: the two of them sit side by side as the sun goes down.
Each role comes from one photo, which is why the trend needs two: one face for the pier, one for the song.
Who people cast in the two roles
- Couples: the classic version, often posted on an anniversary or with a caption about missing someone.
- Best friends: one waits, one serenades — sincere or ironic.
- Siblings and parents, for a birthday or Mother's Day post (with their permission).
- A person and their pet, with the dog or cat singing by the sea.
- Rivals as a joke: two people who would never share a pier.
Photos of children and public figures are not allowed on Vuddex, so you cannot recreate the celebrity pairs you may see elsewhere.
Can I make a solo version?
Yes. Upload the same photo in both slots and you play both parts — waiting on the pier and singing to yourself. It works as a self-love or "main character" post.
Caption ideas
The clip carries the mood; the caption tells people who it is for:
- "Waiting for you, always" — for a partner
- "Long distance, same sunset" — for a couple apart
- "Every best friend deserves a music video" — for a birthday
- "Me waiting for my food delivery" — the joke version
- "POV: you finally found your person"
Keep it short: the clip is a few seconds of quiet story, and a long caption pulls attention away from it.
You will find it as Raindance AI, Raindance AI video, the Raindance AI trend, the Dave and Tems AI trend, or simply the pier trend. All of them describe the same wooden pier, the same song and the same golden-hour ending.
How to make one
The step-by-step guide — which photo to use, which settings to pick, how to fix a bad result — is here: How to do the Raindance AI trend with two photos. In short: two clear, front-facing photos, the right order (pier first, singer second), then Generate. The price is shown on the button before you start, and a clip that fails is refunded.
FAQ
Is there a free Raindance AI video generator? Not entirely free here. New accounts get a few free credits, enough to try the image tools, but a video costs credits; a first purchase can be a small one-time starter pack, enough for one clip. You only pay for clips that succeed.
Does the video include the song? Yes — the clip comes with the part of “Raindance” the trend uses, so it is ready to post.
Can couples make one together? Yes, that is the most common version: your photo and your partner's, one on the pier, one singing by the sea.
Can I make a solo version? Upload the same photo twice and you play both roles.
Is it official? No. Vuddex is not affiliated with Dave or Tems.
