A jetty at golden hour
Old planks over calm water, the sun sitting on the horizon behind you.
Sunset, drizzle, a quiet song
Raindance AI Trend
The Raindance AI trend is the slow one: you at the end of a wooden jetty, the sun sinking behind you, a warm drizzle catching the light while you sing toward the lens. Add a picture of yourself, or a picture of each person for a duet, and the studio films it for 4 credits.

Quick answer
The Raindance AI trend is a short TikTok and Reels clip of someone singing softly on a wooden pier at sunset while light rain falls, usually posted with “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. On Hotel Lobby Video you add one picture, or one per person, and the Raindance effect films that shot on Seedance 2.0 Mini: 4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p, up to about 5 minutes by our provider’s estimate, with failed takes refunded. The clip carries an original slow song made with the video, not the Dave and Tems recording, so you pick that sound inside TikTok or Instagram when you post.

Where it came from
The song behind the Raindance AI trend
“Raindance” is a Dave and Tems song from Dave’s album The Boy Who Played the Harp, released on 23 October 2025, and it topped the UK Singles Chart in January 2026. The trend that grew around it turns an ordinary still into a slow, sung moment by the water at golden hour, often with rain, and uses the song as the sound.
Hotel Lobby Video treats that moment as a single effect. You stand near the end of a long jetty with the low sun at your back, sing gently toward the camera with a hand on your chest, and the camera drifts in from wide to waist height. The scene asks for a soft, warm rain lit by the sun. In the takes we rendered ourselves the rain came out light, so picture sparkles in the air rather than a storm.

What the Raindance AI trend clip includes
A gentle vocal moment
Eyes half shut, hand over your heart, a soft lean toward the lens.
One singer or two
Alone, or side by side with a partner from their own picture.
Its own quiet song
An original slow tune with rain and lapping water, so the clip stands up even without the trend sound.
Getting a better Raindance take
- Choose a crisp, front-facing picture. The camera ends close to your face, and that face comes from the picture.
- Pick a waist-up shot over a crowded group picture. Small faces in a crowd are harder to hold.
- Duet singers should match their framing: both from the waist up, or both full length.
- Dress for the jetty. Your outfit stays as it is in the picture; the rain just dampens it.
Adding the Raindance song when you post
- Save the MP4 from the result screen or from My videos.
- Upload it to TikTok or Instagram Reels and search the app’s sound library for “Raindance” by Dave and Tems.
- Lower the clip’s original audio if you only want the song to play.
Other trend clips from a picture
Raindance is the soft, sung one. For something with a twist, try the zombie hug filter or the gas station golden-hour edit. For two friends trading bars on one mic against an orange wall, the rap tab cuts a Hotel Lobby duet. The whole list lives on photo to video effects.

Where does the Raindance AI trend come from?
From “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. People turn a still into a slow, sung clip on a pier or jetty at sunset, often in rain, and post it with that song. The AI version uses your own face.
I only have a selfie on my phone. Can I do the Raindance trend tonight?
Yes. Open this page in your phone browser, add the selfie, keep Raindance picked and press create. Our provider estimates up to about 5 minutes, and you post from the same phone.
Will my clip already have the Dave and Tems song on it?
No. It carries an original slow song with rain and water sounds. Pick “Raindance” from the TikTok or Instagram sound library when you upload.
Can my girlfriend and I sing on the pier together?
Yes. Add one picture of each of you, or one of the two of you, and you sing side by side at the end of the jetty.
How much is a Raindance AI trend clip?
4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p, no subscription. You pay in credits at the moment you press create. The entry pack is 10 credits for $9.99, and a take that fails puts its credits back in your balance by itself.
Do I have to find a CapCut template or write a prompt?
Neither. The jetty, the light, the camera move and the music are already part of the effect. You only bring the picture.
Why is the rain so light in my clip?
The scene asks for a soft, warm rain, and in our own takes it stayed faint. Expect glints in the sunlight more than a downpour.
