Raindance AI Trend From a Photo
Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.com) makes the Raindance AI trend from one photo: you stand on a long wooden jetty at golden hour, sing softly to the camera and a warm rain starts to fall. The clip has its own slow song; you add Dave and Tems in TikTok or Instagram.
- Solo or duet

Quick answer
The Raindance AI trend is a short-video edit where a photo becomes a slow, sung shot on a wooden jetty at sunset in light rain, posted with “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. On Hotel Lobby Video (hotel-lobby-video.com) you add one photo, or one per person, and the Raindance effect renders it on Seedance 2.0 Mini for 4 credits (5 seconds, 720p), in up to about 5 minutes by the provider’s estimate, with automatic refunds on failure. The audio is an original AI ballad, not the Dave and Tems recording, so pick that song from the app’s sound library when you post.

Background
Where the Raindance AI trend comes from
Dave and Tems released “Raindance” on 23 October 2025, on Dave’s album The Boy Who Played the Harp, and it went to number one on the UK Singles Chart in January 2026. The AI edit that followed takes a still photo and turns it into a slow, sung moment on a pier or jetty at golden hour, usually in rain, with the song playing underneath.
On this site that whole look is a single effect. You stand near the end of a long jetty over still water, the sun low behind you, and sing a tender line toward the lens with a hand on your chest while the camera drifts in from wide to waist height. The prompt asks for a light, warm rain that catches the sun, so it reads as glints and sparkle rather than a storm.
Step by step
How to do the Raindance AI trend
- 01
Choose your photo
Waist up or full length, with the face easy to read. For a duet, one photo of each singer, or one photo of both.
- 02
Leave Raindance selected
It opens on Seedance 2.0 Mini, 720p, 5 seconds, 9:16. Change anything and the button shows the new price.
- 03
Render, post, add the sound
The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes. Save the MP4 and choose “Raindance” as the sound in your app.
Inside the clip
What the Raindance clip contains
A soft, sung moment
Eyes half shut, hand to the chest, a slow sway as the camera comes closer.
One singer or two
Two people stand side by side when you give one photo per person.
Music already included
An original slow R&B song with rain and waves, so the clip works even before you add the trend sound.
Getting a better Raindance shot
- The camera ends at waist height, close to your face, so start from a sharp photo where you face forward.
- Skip group photos. A face that is tiny in a crowd is hard for the model to keep.
- Duet photos should match: both waist up, or both full length, so you appear the same size.
- Your clothes stay as they are in the photo. The rain only darkens them a little.
Adding “Raindance” when you post
- Save the MP4 from the result screen or from My videos.
- In TikTok or Instagram Reels, upload it and search the sound library for “Raindance” by Dave and Tems.
- Lower the original clip audio if you want only the song to play.
Other trends that start with a photo
Raindance is the quiet, emotional one. For something darker, the AI zombie trend turns one of two people into a zombie who still gets a hug; for something louder, the gas station AI trend cuts between a dance, a selfie and a luxury car. If you want the two of you rapping in an orange booth, that is the Hotel Lobby video maker. Every scene is listed under AI video effects.

What is the Raindance AI trend on TikTok?
It is an edit where a photo turns into a slow, sung golden-hour shot on a jetty or pier, usually in rain, set to “Raindance” by Dave and Tems. The AI version uses your own face.
Will the downloaded video play the Dave and Tems song?
No. It carries an original AI ballad with rain and waves. Pick the real song from the TikTok or Instagram sound library when you post.
Can I do the Raindance trend with my girlfriend from two separate photos?
Yes. Add one photo of each of you, or one photo of both, and you sing side by side on the jetty.
Do I need CapCut, a template or a prompt?
No. The jetty, the rain, the camera move and the music are built into the effect; you only add a photo.
Is the Raindance AI trend free here?
No. 5 seconds at 720p costs 4 credits. You spend credits at the moment you create (packs start at 10 credits for $9.99), and any render that fails gives them back on its own.
Why is the rain so light?
The effect asks for a light, warm rain that catches the sunlight, so expect sparkle in the backlight more than a heavy downpour.
How long until my Raindance video is ready?
The provider quotes up to about 5 minutes for Seedance. The MP4 is also saved in My videos.
