The short answer
The Raindance AI trend is a TikTok and Reels edit that puts you on a wooden pier at sunset, singing slowly to the camera while a light rain falls; people post it with “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. Here you add one photo (or one of each person) and the Raindance effect renders the shot on Seedance 2.0 Mini: 4 credits for 5 seconds at 720p, ready in up to about 5 minutes by the provider’s estimate, and a failed render is refunded. The clip has its own AI-made slow song, not the Dave and Tems recording, so add that sound in TikTok or Instagram when you post.

The trend
What the Raindance AI trend is
“Raindance” is a song by Dave and Tems, released on 23 October 2025 on Dave’s album The Boy Who Played the Harp; it reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in January 2026. In the AI trend, a still photo becomes a slow, sung shot on a pier or jetty at golden hour, often in the rain, posted with the song as its sound.
Here that shot is one effect. You stand near the end of a long wooden pier with the sun low behind you, sing softly toward the camera with a hand on your chest, and the camera moves in from a wide shot to waist height. The effect asks for a light, warm rain that catches the sun. In our test renders the rain stayed faint, so expect glints in the light more than a downpour.
Three steps
How to do the Raindance AI trend
01Add a clear photo
Waist up or full length, face easy to see. For a duet, add one photo of each person, or one photo of both.
02Keep Raindance selected
The generator starts on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 720p, 5 seconds and 9:16. Change any of them; the price updates.
03Create, then add the song
The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes. Download the MP4 and add “Raindance” as the sound when you post.
What you get
What you get in the Raindance AI trend clip
A slow, sung performance
Eyes half closed, a hand on the chest, a gentle sway toward the lens.
Solo or a duet
One person, or two side by side from one photo each.
A soundtrack of its own
The model adds a slow, original song with rain and waves, so the clip also plays without the Raindance sound.
Tips for the Raindance AI trend
- Use a sharp, front-facing photo. The face in the clip comes from it, and the camera ends close.
- Waist up works better than a group shot. Small faces in a crowd are harder to keep.
- For a duet, frame both photos the same way: both waist up or both full length.
- Wear what you want to be seen in. The effect keeps the outfit from your photo; the rain only makes it wet.
Post it with the Raindance sound
- Download the MP4 from the result, or later from My videos.
- Upload it to TikTok or Instagram Reels and pick “Raindance” by Dave and Tems from the app’s sound library.
- Turn the clip’s own sound down if you only want the song.
