First, what you're copying. "Raindance" is Dave's song with Tems from his album The Boy Who Played the Harp, released in October 2025. The video, directed by Nathan James Tettey and shot in Lagos, came out in January 2026. The bit everyone recreates is the romantic stretch where she, in a mint-green halter dress, joins him on a wooden pier at sunset, and the scene moves to the beach. In the AI trend couples put themselves in those roles and post it with the song still playing.

Way 1: a prompt-based image-to-video tool (Kling, Higgsfield and similar). You upload a photo of the two of you, or a still you made from both faces, then write a prompt describing the pier, the golden-hour light, the dress, the camera move and the mood. Expect to rerun it. Faces drift between frames, hands merge, and the model often loses one person when it cuts to the beach. Each try uses credits, and you still have to add the song and trim the clip afterwards. This route gives you the most control, but it's the slowest.

Way 2: CapCut. Most "Raindance trend CapCut" templates are edit templates: they add the song, the cuts, the text and the color grade on top of footage you supply. They don't generate you on the pier. So people usually make the AI clip somewhere else first and then drop it into CapCut to finish it. If you already have the clip, CapCut is a fine way to polish it. If you don't, it only covers the last step.

Way 3: ReelMe. Here the scene is already cut from the original video, so all you add is a photo for each role. The AI puts both of you into the same shots and timing with the original audio, and you download an MP4. You don't write a prompt and you don't edit anything, and if generation fails you get an automatic refund. The trade-off is that you can't change the scene. You get the Raindance moment as it is, with you two in it.

Photo tips for this template: use one photo per person, taken from the waist up or full-body, facing the camera, in good light. Separate photos work better than a cropped couple selfie because each face stays sharp. Don't worry about matching the dress or the green shirt, since the template dresses you for the scene. Avoid sunglasses and heavy filters, and make sure neither face is half hidden by hair or a hand.

FAQ

Is there a free way to do the Raindance AI trend?

Some prompt-based video tools give new users a few free credits, and you can try the trend with those. In practice the couple scene usually takes several attempts to look right, so most people run out before they get a clip they want to post. ReelMe isn't free, but it's $3.99 once for the finished video with the original song and no watermark, and it refunds you automatically if generation fails.

What prompt do people use for the Raindance AI trend?

The prompts going around describe a couple on a wooden pier at sunset, the woman in a mint-green halter dress, the man in a dark green shirt, soft golden light, slow cinematic camera, then a beach scene. Results vary a lot from tool to tool and from one run to the next. On ReelMe you don't need a prompt because the scene comes from the original video.

How do I make the Raindance trend in CapCut?

Use CapCut to finish a clip, not to create one. Import the AI video of the two of you, add "Raindance" from the sound library or a trend template, line up the cuts with the beat and export. The part CapCut can't do is put your faces in the scene, so you need an AI clip from a prompt tool or from ReelMe first.

Can I do it with a friend instead of a partner?

Yes. The template just needs one photo for each role, so friends, siblings or a joking duo all work. The scene itself stays romantic, though, which is part of the joke when it isn't a couple.

Do I need to add the Raindance song myself?

It depends on the method. Prompt-based tools usually give you a silent clip or their own generated sound, so you add the song afterwards in CapCut or TikTok. The ReelMe template keeps the original audio from the scene, so the clip is ready to post.
