AI trend songs: what's that sound?
Each AI video trend runs on its own sound. On 15 Oct 2026 the biggest we track are Bulin 47 (a dembow beat under an improvised street freestyle), Raindance (Dave featuring Tems) and Hotel Lobby (Quavo and Takeoff). Below is every trend with its song, artist, year and what the song is about, never the lyrics, and a free preview of you in each one.

What each song is about
Biggest first, by our view estimates on 15 Oct 2026. Each row tells the song's story in a line or two; tap one to see yourself in that trend.
- Bulin 47↗ Rising ≈380M views · 1 person · 15s No studio song to look up: the beat is a dembow track playing from a portable speaker, and Bulin 47's freestyle over it, filmed on 2 Oct 2026, is improvised. People search for the words in English, but the pull is the confident, off-the-cuff delivery. See yourself in it
- Raindance ≈200M views · 2 people · 28s "Raindance" by Dave featuring Tems, released on 23 Oct 2025 and a UK number one in January 2026: an Afroswing love song. The trend's moment, a look back down a pier, comes straight from its music video. See yourself in it
- Hotel Lobby ≈137M views · 2 people · 15s "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff, released as Unc & Phew on 20 May 2022: a trap song about their wealth, in the triplet flow they were known for. The trend copies a COLORS studio performance of it at an orange wall, posted on YouTube on 17 Jun 2022. See yourself in it
- Rumpelstiltskin Dance↗ Rising ≈57M views · 1–2 people · 9s Riff Raff's "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz", a 2014 single from his album Neon Icon. People hear the hook as "tiptoeing in my Jordans", which gave the trend its second name, and the imp's tiptoe steps land on it. See yourself in it
- Smalltown Boy Cats↗ Rising ≈46M views · 2 pets · 21s "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, out on 25 May 1984 and a UK number 3: a young gay man, bullied and rejected at home, leaves his small town on a train. That anthem of leaving, under two cats screaming at a fence, is the joke. See yourself in it
- I Wanna Love You↗ Rising ≈55M views · 1 pet · 10s "I Wanna Love You" by Akon featuring Snoop Dogg, a Billboard Hot 100 number one from 2006: a nightclub come-on to someone dancing across the room. Here a cat in a corduroy suit sings the opening of it into a phone. See yourself in it
- Burning Bridges↗ Rising ≈20M views · 1–2 people · 20s Drake's "Burning Bridges", released on 15 May 2026 and included on his album Iceman: a diss track aimed at ASAP Rocky. The trend takes the chandelier chandelier party from its music video, with the song under the whole clip. See yourself in it
- Alors on Danse↗ Rising ≈14M views · 2 people · 18s "Alors on danse" by the Belgian singer Stromae, out in Belgium in September 2009 and the rest of Europe in February 2010, where it went to number one in France and Germany among others. The title means "so we dance": dancing as the way out when work, money and everything else get on top of you. See yourself in it
The clip's own sound vs the trend sound
On every trend here except Rumpelstiltskin, the song is simply the clip's own audio. The trend copies a music video, a performance or a sketch, and the song comes with it: Raindance is cut from the music video, Hotel Lobby from the studio performance, Alors on Danse from a 2010 French TV sketch in which the song starts on a small keyboard, and the Smalltown Boy cats were posted with Bronski Beat already playing.
Rumpelstiltskin is the exception. The clip comes from an AI-made fake 1980s fantasy film that @stroinaya posted on Instagram on 27 Aug 2026, and it has its own film music. A month later TikTok edits put Riff Raff's track under the dance and looped the tiptoe steps to the beat. The earliest of those we found went up on 27 Sep 2026, and NBC News was writing about the meme by 7 Oct.
Your video keeps the clip's own sound. On every live trend here except Rumpelstiltskin, that sound already is the trend song. On Rumpelstiltskin you get the film's music; for the Riff Raff version, pick his track from TikTok's sound library when you post, which is how the trend started in the first place.
Want your remake on the trend's sound page, next to everyone else's? Pick the sound in TikTok as you post. The guide to doing the AI video trend on TikTok covers posting step by step.
Why one sound carries a whole AI trend
A trend travels on its sound. Every TikTok sound has its own page listing the videos made with it, so one tap on a remake's sound shows every other version. Every trend we counted is spread over several sounds rather than one: the original post's audio, the official track, and template sounds that remake accounts upload. The counts are in the table below.
Most of the songs are older than the trend. Of the seven trends live on 15 Oct 2026, four use songs from 1984 to 2022: Smalltown Boy (1984), Alors on danse (2009), Riff Raff's track (2014) and Hotel Lobby (2022). Only Raindance (2025) and Burning Bridges (2026) are recent, and Bulin 47's beat backs a freestyle filmed on 2 Oct 2026.
How many videos sit on each trend's sounds
From our reads of TikTok's sound pages on 14 Oct 2026. The video count on a sound shows how many people joined in; a trend's views show how far it travelled.
| Trend | Sounds we counted | Videos on them |
|---|---|---|
| Bulin 47 | 5 trend sounds | about 18,000 |
| Hotel Lobby | remake template sounds, plus the official track | about 11,600 on the templates; about 447,000 on the official sound, mostly from 2022 |
| Raindance | 6 remake sounds | about 9,600 |
| Smalltown Boy Cats | 3 sounds | about 5,400 |
| Alors on Danse | 3 sounds | about 700 |
TikTok's sound and tag pages returned no counts when we went back on 15 Oct 2026, so these are the 14 Oct reads. Hotel Lobby's official sound was already busy before the AI remakes (most of its videos are from 2022), so its remake template sounds are the better guide to the trend. Rumpelstiltskin's count wasn't readable.
Pick a trend by the song's mood
Only the faces change, with your hair and any glasses (for pets, the whole animal). The timing to the song, the moves, the clothes and the camera all stay from the clip, so nobody needs to know the words or the steps. Choose by the feeling you want and who you'd put in it.
| If you want | Trend and song | Who to cast, and the photos |
|---|---|---|
| A love song for two | Raindance, Dave featuring Tems (28 s) | Two photos: the one on the pier and the one in the green dress. Your partner, or your parents for their anniversary. Daylight photos suit the golden-hour light. |
| A rap brag with a friend | Hotel Lobby, Quavo and Takeoff (15 s) | Two photos, either side of the hanging mic: a best friend, a flatmate or your dad. |
| A party beat with you in the middle | Bulin 47, a dembow freestyle (15 s) | One photo. The birthday person, or whoever always takes over the music. Short or tied-back hair reads best under the red light. |
| A dance song for the one who can't sit still | Alors on Danse, Stromae (18 s) | Two photos: one at the keyboard, one who leans into the lens. A brother, a sister or the first friend on the dance floor. |
| A sound everyone gets the joke of | Rumpelstiltskin Dance, Riff Raff added in TikTok (9 s) | One photo for the imp, or two with a friend as the horrified maiden. A big grin in your photo helps. |
| An '80s anthem for your pets | Smalltown Boy Cats, Bronski Beat (21 s) | Two pet photos, one animal in each: two cats, or a cat and a dog. Show each coat and its markings. |
| A chandelier party with a hand over your eyes | Burning Bridges, Drake (20 s, beta) | One photo for the seat at the head of the table, or two with a friend. The hand hides your eyes, so the rest of your face carries the likeness. |
From the song to your own video
- Pick a trend
Go by the song or by the scene. Each trend page loops the clip silently and links to its most-viewed posts, so you can hear the sound before you choose.
- Add a selfie
A clear photo of each face, front-on, in good light. Your free preview still is back in under a minute; the video costs 100 credits, solo, duo or pets alike, and takes about 5–10 minutes, and we email you when it's ready. Packs start at $9.90 for 100 credits, no subscription needed.
- Post it
Download it for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. It plays with the clip's own sound; on Rumpelstiltskin, choose Riff Raff's track in TikTok while you post.
Songs from AI trends we don't make
People ask for these songs too. The trends aren't on the site, so here's the answer and where we read it; a name with an arrow opens our page on that trend.
- Bad Times →Single out 30 Mar 2026
The sound is "Bad Times" by Imael Angel, a deep house song that a person writes the words for and AI tools build into the track. It's about keeping your self-worth when things go badly, which is why people mime it at whoever's filming in the middle of a row. AI dog and cat versions of the lip-sync followed on 22 Sep 2026.
Songfacts ↗ - Toc Toc →Song from 2015
"Toc Toc" by the French singer Patrick Sébastien, a 2015 party song. It's a knock-knock singalong, and the knock in the chorus is the cue for the dance's fist move. The hop-and-knock dance took off in France in late September 2026.
Sud Radio, 29 Sep 2026 ↗ - Ramalama (Bang Bang) →Album out 13 Jun 2005
Róisín Murphy's "Ramalama (Bang Bang)", track 8 on her first solo album, Ruby Blue. There's no story to decode: the chorus is sound words over a tribal-sounding rhythm, closer to drumming than to a message, which is why it suits the slow Halloween costume walk.
Wikipedia ↗ - AI Baby Dance (Sway Dance)First seen 14 Dec 2025
The song is "Last Call for Love", credited to Abarza Recabal Erick Yordan, and Know Your Meme says it was made with AI. An AI filter makes the subject, mostly babies and young children, sway to it. It's a filter effect rather than one viral clip, so it isn't one we make; the AI dance trends page has the dances we do.
Know Your Meme ↗ - AI Tokyo Drift car sceneMid-Feb 2026
The sound is "Six Days (Remix)" by DJ Shadow featuring Mos Def, the track under Han's car scene in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. AI edits swap in other cars and characters, and Know Your Meme dates the start to mid-February 2026.

Questions people ask
What is the trending AI song right now?
There isn't just one: each AI video trend has its own sound. On 15 Oct 2026 the biggest we track is Bulin 47, a dembow beat under an improvised freestyle (about 365M views, our estimate), ahead of Raindance by Dave featuring Tems (about 200M) and Hotel Lobby by Quavo and Takeoff (about 137M). The table at the top updates as trends move.
What's the song in the AI dance trend?
It depends on the dance. The AI baby dance (sway dance) uses "Last Call for Love", a song Know Your Meme says was made with AI. In the dance trends you can star in here, Bulin 47 is a dembow freestyle, Alors on Danse is Stromae, Rumpelstiltskin dances to Riff Raff (added in TikTok) and the Smalltown Boy cats to Bronski Beat.
What's the newest AI trend song?
Of the trends live on 15 Oct 2026, the newest clips are the Bulin 47 freestyle and the Smalltown Boy cats, both posted on 2 Oct 2026. The newest released song is Drake's "Burning Bridges", out on 15 May 2026.
What song do the AI cats dance to?
In the Smalltown Boy cat trend, the two cats at the red fence dance and scream to "Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, a 1984 UK hit. The song is part of the clip, so your pets' version has it too.
What song is the Rumpelstiltskin AI trend?
Riff Raff's "Tip Toe Wing In My Jawwdinz" (2014). People hear its hook as "tiptoeing in my Jordans", the trend's other name. The original AI film has its own music, which your video keeps; add the Riff Raff track in TikTok when you post.
What's the song in the Bulin 47 AI trend?
There's no released song. It's a dembow beat from a portable speaker with Bulin 47 freestyling over it, filmed on 2 Oct 2026. Many remakes keep that original audio, and so does your video.
Do you include the song in my video?
Your video keeps the clip's own sound. On every live trend except Rumpelstiltskin that is the trend song. Rumpelstiltskin keeps the AI film's music, and you add the Riff Raff track in TikTok.
Do I have to know the words or the moves?
No. Only the faces change, with hair and any glasses (for pets, the whole animal): the performance, the timing to the song, the clothes and the camera all stay as they are in the clip.
Where are the lyrics?
We never reprint lyrics. Each trend page explains what its song is about; for the words themselves, use the official release or a music app with licensed lyrics.
Is the music made by AI?
Not the trend sounds we make: each is a real release by a real artist, or a real street freestyle for Bulin 47. The one exception is the clip itself on Rumpelstiltskin, which keeps the AI film's own music. The AI baby dance is different: Know Your Meme says its song was made with AI.
