    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.

Which photo works best?

Upload two clear photos, one person in each. Photo 1 is the crier. Photo 2 is the one who says "I still love you".

  • Faces to the camera, from the chest up, in good light. Almost every shot is a close-up, so the faces carry the clip.
  • No sunglasses, no hat, no hand over the face, no beauty filter. Glasses stay only if your photo shows them.
  • Your hair and clothes from each photo stay, so pick photos you like.
  • Adults only (18+), and only people who agreed to it.

Where did the Deep Down In My Heart trend start?

The meme comes from a 2010 TV clip that became one of the internet's most famous crying memes, the Best Cry Ever. The whole joke is one line and one sound: "Because I know somewhere deep down in my heart... I still love you", then a cry so long and so loud that people still quote it, remix it and caption it more than fifteen years later.

In October 2026 it came back on TikTok. A repost of the old clip, captioned "No way, I found the original video", passed 467,000 views after 6 October, and a second repost passed 290,000 views after 20 October. On 25 October an AI video template site added a two-photo version, and by 26 October three sites had one: one friend says the line, the other cries.

Our version is a new scene made with AI: your two faces on a cozy living-room sofa and new voices. It never uses the old clip, its sound or the people in it.

  1. A TV clip with the line "Because I know somewhere deep down in my heart... I still love you" and a long, loud cry becomes a famous crying meme, the Best Cry Ever.

  2. A TikTok voice-over parody of the Best Cry Ever reaches 845,000 views: the meme keeps coming back.

  3. A repost of the old clip, captioned "No way, I found the original video", starts its run to 467,000 views on TikTok.

  4. A second repost of the clip starts its run to 290,000 views.

  5. An AI video template site adds a two-photo version: one friend says the line, the other cries.

  6. Two more AI video sites add a two-photo version. By 27 October one of them shows 690 uses.

Video prompt

The viral "deep down in my heart... I still love you" crying meme, made from [Image 1] and [Image 2]: a candid documentary-style scene, two people side by side on a brown leather sofa in a cozy living room, warm lamp light, handheld camera, photorealistic, vertical 9:16, 6 shots with hard cuts, faces large in every shot. THE CRIER sits on the LEFT and is the person in [Image 1], in every shot: 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). THE CONFESSOR, who says the words, sits on the RIGHT and is the person in [Image 2], in every shot: 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). Never swap them, never blend their faces. Each keeps the hair and clothes of their own photo, glasses only if that photo shows them. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also in the wide-open cry, so their friends recognize them at once. If an image shows an animal, that one is that animal with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. 0-2 s, shot 1, two-shot: THE CRIER faces the camera, serious and guarded, mouth closed. THE CONFESSOR turns to THE CRIER and says softly, the voice cracking: "Because I know, somewhere deep down in my heart..." 2-4.5 s, shot 2, close-up of THE CONFESSOR: silent, the head dropping, the face folding into a teary half-smile. 4.5-6.5 s, shot 3, close-up of THE CRIER: silent, one hand pressed over the mouth, red wet eyes staring, holding it in. 6.5-9 s, shot 4, close-up of THE CONFESSOR, a tear rolling down, soft and sure, the lips clearly shaping: "I still love you." 9-13.5 s, shot 5, close-up of THE CRIER, three-quarter view: the face crumples, then the mouth stretches WIDE OPEN in a long, loud, high-pitched ugly cry: eyes squeezed shut, brows pulled up hard in the middle, tears streaming, the head rocking, a hand coming up to the chin. 13.5-15 s, shot 6, close-up of THE CONFESSOR: half laughing, half crying, a wide teary smile, while the wailing goes on off-screen. Audio: THE CONFESSOR's two soft lines, each said once, then THE CRIER's long wailing cry with gasps and sobs. New voices that fit each face, never imitating a real person's voice. THE CRIER never speaks until the cry. No music. Funny and warm, never scary. Only these two in the room. No text, subtitles, logos, watermark or TV channel badge. Five fingers on each hand.

It is 15 seconds, vertical, 720p, with sound: the two lines and the cry, in voices the AI makes to fit each face. They are not your real voices. No music, no text on screen.

Who should be the crier, and how to post it

  • Photo 1 cries. Put the friend who would be funniest falling apart first: the calm one, the one who never cries, the one who swears they are not emotional.
  • Photo 2 confesses. It works as a love confession to your partner, a best friend saying it first, or a roommate being dramatic about the last slice of pizza.
  • Post it with your own caption, like "when I tell my best friend I still love her". The clip has no text, so the caption is yours.

This deep down in my heart AI video is made straight from your two photos with top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5, so both faces stay yours. The price shows on the create page before you start.
