You film a lazy selfie on the deck of a yacht at full speed, turn the phone to your partner asleep next to you, and turn back with a grin, to Earkid's "Balmain".

The song is "Balmain" by the Brazilian rapper Earkid, with THS (also spelled Balmain Ear Kid). Its TikTok sound dates from November 2020, and the opening line, *"vamo de rolê pra uma ilha"* ("let's take a trip to an island"), became a caption of its own. Lyric posts of the song passed 1.2 million views in December 2021 and 2.3 million in March 2025. The yacht clip is a real phone selfie: a man in a cap lies back on the sun deck of a fast motor yacht, turns the camera to his girlfriend asleep under a towel, swings past the wake, and comes back to his grin. By 12 November 2026 an AI template site had made the clip a two-person template that puts two new faces into it, the couple boat trip selfie, with 346 likes. On TikTok, #earkidbalmain had 32 videos and 2.3 million views and #vamoderolepraumailha 490 videos and 6.2 million views that day. It is an early trend: the first AI versions are only now appearing. ### Balmain Yacht Selfie trend timeline - **2020-11-11**: The TikTok sound "Balmain" by THS & EarKid goes up.

No editing app, no watermark. ### The one-tap way (no prompt to write) 1. **Add the two photos.** Press "Make yours" and add you, the one who films, face clear, then your partner, the one asleep. Add them in this order, because the order decides who is who in the scene. Take them with the camera or pick them from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/balmain-couple-yacht-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Balmain Yacht Selfie scene straight from your photos, with no in-between picture, for 12 seconds, with the trend's original song. You write no prompt. 3. **Download or share.** The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in My videos. ### The by-hand way, with the exact prompts The one-tap flow runs this prompt for you. The video model takes your photos as references ([Image 1], [Image 2] in the order you add them) and films the scene straight from them, with no photo step first. AI Video takes one photo as the first frame, so it cannot run this prompt the same way: the prompt is here to read. #### Variant: Couple Settings: 2 photos (you, the one who films, face clear + your partner, the one asleep) · Seedance 2.5 · 12 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 152 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 12 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text A real phone selfie video, one continuous handheld take with no cuts, vertical 9:16, photorealistic, warm late-afternoon sun, a slightly wide front-camera lens. A white motor yacht cruises fast across a deep-blue sea past dry, low, rocky islands; a white foaming wake trails behind the stern. On the open sun deck lies a wide orange-red sunbed with grey towels and cushions. WHO IS WHO: THE ONE WHO FILMS (holds the phone at arm's length in one hand, lies back on the sunbed, their face is the selfie) is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles). Plain summer boat clothes: a dark sleeveless top or T-shirt with no print. A cap only if [Image 1] shows one. NO sunglasses unless [Image 1] shows sunglasses: the eyes stay visible. THE ONE ASLEEP (lies on the sunbed right next to them, eyes closed the whole time) is the person in [Image 2], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 2] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles). A light summer cover-up or a thin knit top, a grey towel over the legs. The roles come ONLY from the photo order, never from gender: [Image 1] films, [Image 2] sleeps. Never swap them, never blend their faces; each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. If an image shows an animal, that one is that animal with its own face and fur, not a person: an animal in [Image 2] curls up asleep on the towel. [0-2.5 s] The selfie, arm's length, a slightly low angle: the one who films lies back on the sunbed, relaxed, chin up, a slow cool half-smile at the lens; behind them the bow rail, the sea and an island. [2.5-5.5 s] With no cut, the phone slowly turns to the side and comes close to the one asleep: curled on the sunbed under the towel, cheek on the cushion, face turned three-quarters to the lens and lit by the sun, eyes closed, peaceful, the wind moving the hair. They never wake and never open their eyes. [5.5-7 s] The phone keeps turning past them over the stern: the white wake, the sun glare on the water, a sailboat far away. [7-12 s] Back on the one who films, reclined, the wake and the sea behind: one fist up in the air, then a wide, happy grin at the lens and a small nod, the boat rocking, the wind in the hair. Sound: none of its own; a song is put on afterwards. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. All people are adults. Clear facial features, stable faces, no distortion. No text, captions, subtitles, logos, brand prints on caps or clothes, watermarks, phone UI or a visible phone. No extra people on the deck, no cuts, no split screen, no morphing, no extra limbs. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4.

One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/balmain-couple-yacht-ai-trend/create?variant=pet ### Which photo works best? **Couple: photo 1 is you, the one who films. Photo 2 is your partner, the one asleep.** Swap the photos to swap the roles. - **One person per photo**, face to the camera, sharp and in good light. Your face is a big close-up for most of the video, so a clear face matters most. - **No sunglasses in photo 1** unless you want them in the video: the video keeps what the photo shows, and sunglasses hide your eyes. - **Photo 2 can have open eyes.** The video closes them; your partner sleeps the whole time. - **Solo** takes one photo of you. **Pet** takes a photo of you and a photo of your pet, who naps on the sunbed in your partner's place. ## How many credits does it cost? You pay per video in credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. The one-tap price covers the scene photo and the video, charged once. The cheaper models are there if you run the prompts by hand in AI Video. | Video model | Settings | Credits | | --- | --- | --- | | Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 12 s, 720p, straight from your photos, one tap | 152 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## Three versions: Couple, Solo and Pet Each version makes a 12-second vertical couple yacht video, with the trend's "Balmain" song put on after the video. | Version | Photos | What happens | |---|---|---| | **Couple** | You + your partner | You film a yacht selfie, turn the phone to your partner asleep on the sunbed, swing past the wake and come back with a grin. | | **Solo** | You | The same yacht selfie, but the turn shows the empty sunbed, the open sea and the islands. | | **Pet** | You + your pet | Your cat or dog naps on the sunbed next to you, curled on a towel in the sun. | The video is made straight from your photos by the best AI video models available, with no in-between picture, so the faces stay close to the photos. It is a new clip in the same style, not the original clip with new faces. The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything, and the video waits in My videos when it is ready. ## The shots, second by second | Time | What you see | |---|---| | 0 to 2.5 s | Your yacht selfie: you lie back on the sun deck, chin up, with a slow, cool half-smile. The bow, the sea and a dry island behind you. | | 2.5 to 5.5 s | The phone turns to your partner, asleep under a towel, cheek on the cushion, hair moving in the wind. | | 5.5 to 7 s | The phone swings over the stern: the white wake and the sun on the water. | | 7 to 12 s | Back on you: one fist in the air, then a wide, happy grin, the boat rocking. | The moment people love is the turn to the sleeping partner: the boat day couple shot that says "look who came along". ## How to post it - **Caption:** the song's first line, *"vamo de rolê pra uma ilha"*, is the caption most posts use. Yacht day captions in English work too: "boat day with my favorite person" or "she slept through the whole trip". - **Hashtags** (TikTok, 12 November 2026): #vamoderolepraumailha (490 videos), #earkidbalmain (32 videos, 2.3 million views), #earkid, #casal and #lancha for Brazilian viewers, #boatday and #yachtlife for the rest. - **Sound:** your video already has the song. On TikTok you can also pick the "Balmain" sound when you post, so your clip shows up on its sound page. - **Keep the AI label on.** It is an AI video, not a real trip. ## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it? | Problem | Fix | |---|---| | A face does not look like the photo | Use a sharp photo that faces the camera, in good light, and run it again. | | The roles are swapped | Photo 1 always films and photo 2 always sleeps. Swap the photos. | | Your partner opens their eyes | Run it again. The prompt keeps their eyes closed the whole time. | | A logo or text shows on a cap or a shirt | Run it again. The prompt asks for plain clothes. | | The boat looks too small or too big | Every run picks a new boat. Run it again for another one. | Every run is a new take, so results differ. ## Balmain Yacht Selfie trend questions ### What is the Balmain Earkid trend? It is a couple yacht video set to "Balmain", a Brazilian trap song by Earkid. One person films a yacht selfie, turns the camera to their partner asleep on the sunbed, and turns back with a grin. By 12 November 2026 it was an AI template that puts your own faces into the scene. ### What song is in the couple yacht video? "Balmain" by Earkid with THS (TikTok lists it as "Balmain" by THS & EarKid). Many people know it by its first line, "vamo de rolê pra uma ilha". Your video comes with the song, and you can turn it off on the result screen. ### What are the Earkid Balmain lyrics in the trend? The clip uses the opening: "Vamo de rolê pra uma ilha / Ela quer ser mãe da minha filha", which means "Let's take a trip to an island / She wants to be the mother of my daughter". People who search for the Balmain Earkid letra (Portuguese for lyrics) usually look for these two lines. ### How do I make the couple yacht AI video? Press "Create your own", pick Couple, add a photo of you as photo 1 and a photo of your partner as photo 2, and press Generate. The button shows the price first. You get a 12-second vertical couple yacht AI video with the song in My videos. ### Is this an AI couple video generator? Yes, for this scene. It is an AI couple video made from two photos: you film the yacht selfie and your partner sleeps beside you. For other couple scenes, see the [My Girl couple trend](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/my-girl-couple-pinch-ai-trend) or the [AI couple prank](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/ai-couple-prank-cliff). ### Can I make a yacht selfie on my own? Yes. Pick Solo and add one photo. You film the same yacht selfie, a boat selfie on a fast yacht, and the turn shows the empty sunbed and the open sea in place of a partner. ### Can my pet be the one asleep? Yes. Pick Pet, add a photo of you and a photo of your cat or dog. Your pet naps on a towel on the sunbed while you film, with its own face, fur and markings. ### What does "casal na lancha" or "rolê de lancha" mean? They are Portuguese: *casal na lancha* means "a couple on a motorboat", and *rolê de lancha* means "a boat trip". Brazilian posts of the trend use them, and a couple on yacht or couple boat video search in English means the same scene. ### Do I need the original clip, a yacht or an app? No. This yacht AI video is made from your photos in your browser: no boat, no clip and no app. The video is a new scene in the same style, not a copy of the original clip's frames. ### Is the Balmain trend about the fashion brand? Only through the song. The Balmain TikTok trend takes its name from Earkid's song, whose lyric mentions the brand. Your video shows no brand, logo or label. ### Why is the girlfriend sleeping in the yacht video? That is the joke of the girlfriend sleeping yacht video: he films the luxury boat day with a cool face, and the camera finds her fast asleep and missing it all. In your video your partner sleeps the whole time. ### How long is the video, and does it have sound? It is 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 720p, with "Balmain" by Earkid put on after the video. You can turn the song off on the result screen. ### Does the video cost credits? Yes. The create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a video fails, the credits come back. ### Are my photos private? Yes. MakeViral does not post your photos or the result anywhere or show them to other users. The video goes to your private My videos page, and you can delete it there at any time. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [Flamingo Float AI Trend: Saved at the Edge of the Infinity Pool](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/flamingo-float-ai-trend): You lounge on a giant pink flamingo float in a rooftop infinity pool high above the city, eyes on your phone, and drift right to the edge.
