What is the Choosin' Texas Emo AI trend?

The Choosin' Texas Emo trend is a TikTok remake of @kobbapot's emo cover of "Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley: the country hit sung as an over-the-top emo rock anthem by a man in a black cowboy hat on the top floor of a car park at night. He throws a hang-loose sign (thumb and little finger out) right at the lens, holds both hands out at his chest with the fingers curled in, squat-bounces against the concrete wall, tips the hat brim at the lens, slaps a hand across his chest, lunges at the camera and drops to one knee to sing at the floor. Here you take his place, or your dog or cat does: add one clear photo for a free preview still in under a minute, then get the 15-second video for 100 credits ($6.99), charged only when it's delivered.

How to make the Choosin' Texas Emo AI video: 1. Pick "Just you" or "Your pet" and add one clear, front-facing photo (for a pet, the whole animal, ears to paws). 2. After the preview, pick "The trend's outfit" for his cowboy hat, long hair and all-black outfit with your face, or "Your outfit" to keep your own clothes and hair from the photo, still under the black cowboy hat. 3. Check the free preview still of you, or your pet, on the car park roof. 4. Press Make my video. The video keeps the rooftop, the city lights, the handheld camera and every move, and we email it when it's ready. There's no prompt to write and no app to install: it works in a phone browser.

Your video is 15 seconds of @kobbapot's post from 29 Sep 2026, from about the 12-second mark: the hang-loose sign at the lens, the lean on the wall, the hand slapped across the chest, the lunge and the drop to one knee. It was filmed for real in one handheld take with no cuts, so the camera sways with him the whole way. With your photo, your face, hair, facial hair and your own glasses go in; pick "Your pet" and the whole animal takes over, paws up and all. The car park, the moves and the timing stay as in his clip.

About the sound: your video keeps the clip's own audio, his emo cover, so it arrives sounding like the post you've seen. If you'd rather post it over the official TikTok sound or Ella Langley's original track, add that sound in TikTok when you upload: pick it from the sound library and turn the clip's own audio down.

The joke is the clash. "Choosin' Texas" is a slow-burning country heartbreak song, and turning it into a screamed emo ballad, in a cowboy hat, under a car park light, plays it completely straight and completely over the top at once. It works because the song was everywhere: it was reported on 22 Sep 2026 as spending its 23rd week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the longest run in the chart's history.

How big is it? Still early. On 26 Oct 2026 @kobbapot's emo cover had 13.2M plays and 1.6M likes, and his 10 Oct follow-up ranking four of his own remixes (emo first) had 2.0M. With an earlier emo take by @piratemike311 (769.9K) and two small copies, the five posts we read add up to about 16M plays. MakeViral reports 206 videos on his original sound as of 25 Oct, so the copying is only starting; that's the moment to jump on it.

More singing, stages and pets you can make with one photo: I Wanna Love You has your pet in a corduroy suit belting out Akon by the tennis courts at night, Concert Crowd Surf carries you over a festival crowd toward the stage, Closed on Sunday Choir puts you still in the middle of a swaying hillside choir, and Bad Times has you, or your pet, having a full-blown row with whoever's filming.

The song and the original

"Choosin' Texas" by Ella Langley, a country song written by Miranda Lambert, Luke Dick and Joybeth Taylor, from her album Dandelion. It's a heartbreak song about a partner who has already chosen somewhere, and probably someone, else (RouteNote). By 22 Sep 2026 it had spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a record for the chart. The trend uses @kobbapot's own emo rock cover of it, not the studio recording or the separate Drake remix. Your video keeps the clip's own sound, his emo cover; to use another sound, add it in TikTok. We don't reprint lyrics.

Is the Choosin' Texas Emo trend still growing?

About 16M views across TikTok (likely 16M–16M), as of 26 Oct 2026. Estimated from the top posts.

Early and rising. @kobbapot's emo cover is four weeks old with 13.2M plays on 26 Oct 2026, and MakeViral reports only 206 videos on his sound and its first one-photo template on 25 Oct, so the remake wave is just starting. The song itself had spent 23 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 by 22 Sep.

Can I do it with my dog or cat?

Yes. Pick "Your pet" under the photo box and add one sharp photo of your dog or cat, the whole animal in view. Your pet takes over the rooftop performance, paws up at the lens for the hang-loose sign, the lean on the wall and the drop to the floor. Same 15 seconds, same sound, 100 credits.

Yes, either.

The black cowboy hat stays on either way (it's the look of the trend), so your hair may sit a little flatter under the brim. The moves, the car park and the camera stay as in his clip.
