How to make the Fergie Baby video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add your photo

    Press "Create your own" and add your photo, knees up or full body. Take it with the camera or pick it from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 puts your photos into the Fergie Baby trend clip and copies it shot by shot for 15 seconds, with the reel's original song. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in up to several minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library.

Which photo works best?

Upload one photo of yourself (an adult), with your face clear.

  • From the knees up or full body works best: the video shows you head to toe for most of the walk, so a photo that shows your clothes helps. Keep the face sharp and in good light.
  • Your clothes come from the photo. A jacket, a suit, a tracksuit or a plain tee all work; clothes without big logos look best.
  • No sunglasses and no hat that hides the face.
  • Any background works: the park, the gate, the path and the moving camera come from the clip.
  • Use your own photo, or a friend who said yes. Never a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

Where did the Fergie Baby trend start?

Fergie Baby is a rapper from Harlem, New York. On 26 September 2026 he posted a clip of himself stepping out of a ballfield gate in a New York park and rapping his way down the park path toward the camera, with the line "UPTOWN SHOOTERS & BRONX BOMBERS ... ALBUM IS READY". By 15 October it had 473,900 views and 49,100 likes on TikTok, and the sound is called "Uptown Shooters N' Bronx Bombers".

From 12 October, AI videos copied his walk shot for shot with other people's faces, and one of them passed 225,000 views within two days. On 14 October the Fergie Baby AI trend took off: dozens of creators posted a Fergie Baby trend tutorial for a CapCut template, and the hashtag #fergiebabytrend appeared the same evening. Tutorials also call it the Harlem walking trend, the Harlem swagger walk or the City Song filter. By 15 October #fergiebabytrend had 303 videos and was growing by more than 400 a day, and US Google searches for Fergie Baby had doubled in a week.

The Fergie Baby prompt

You do not need these: the one-tap flow runs them for you, together with the trend clip. [Image 1] and [Image 2] are your two photos, and [Video 1] is the trend clip the video copies.

Video prompt

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same sunny summer day in a city park, the same green field behind a tall chain-link fence, the same open chain-link gate with the hanging chain and the metal trash can, the same red rubber path along the fence with trees, black lamp posts and blue benches, the same one continuous shot with the camera moving back in front of the walker, the same timing and moves. The ONLY change: the man with shoulder-length locs and a beard, in the brown suit, the white shirt and the black tie, who walks out of the gate and swagger-walks down the path, is now the person in [Image 1]. The walker = the person in [Image 1], in EVERY frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] - 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 exactly as in the photo. The walker wears the clothes from [Image 1], with no printed words or logos; if [Image 1] shows only the head or the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally, with shoes that fit the outfit. Never the brown suit, the white shirt or the black tie from the video unless [Image 1] shows them. NO locs, NO dreadlocks and NO beard unless [Image 1] shows them, and the age of [Image 1]. The same real person in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them, also when the head drops, the hands cover the head and the face is far away behind the fence. Never morph, never drift back to the original walker's face. THE MOVES, second by second, exactly as the original walker does them: 00:00-00:03.5: on the grass behind the fence, the walker strolls to the open gate, throws both arms up over the head and swings through the gate onto the path. 00:03.5-00:08: on the red path, the walker bounces to the beat, puts both hands to the head, drops the shoulders and dips the head, with a relaxed, cocky rap swagger. 00:08-00:15: the swagger walk down the path toward the camera: easy bouncing steps, hands at the chest, palms together, a point, the arms opened wide, a hand to the chin, a big grin at the lens, both hands on the head at the end. Real live-action phone footage, natural sunlight, sharp hard shadows on the path, clear face, no distortion. Avoid: text, captions, subtitles, logos, watermarks, extra people, a costume, a glow, morphing, facial distortion. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the walker's shoulders. Exactly one person. Two arms, two legs, five fingers on each hand. A face never appears on hands, legs or clothes.

What happens in the Fergie Baby AI video?

The template copies an AI version of the Fergie Baby walk shot for shot, and your face and clothes take the walker's place. The AI walking video is one continuous 15-second shot on a sunny day, with the camera moving back in front of you the whole time:

TimeWhereWhat you do
0 to 3.5 sOn the grass behind a tall chain-link fenceYou stroll to the open gate, throw your arms up and swing through it
3.5 to 8 sOn the red path by the fenceYou bounce, put both hands to your head and drop your shoulders to the beat
8 to 15 sDown the path toward the cameraThe swagger walk: easy steps, hands at your chest, a point, a grin at the lens

How MakeViral makes it: Seedance 2.5 edits the clip itself and swaps the walker for the person in your photo, at 720p, vertical. The Fergie Baby song goes back on after the run, and you can turn it off on the result screen. A run takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
You get long locs, a beard or a brown suit you do not haveThe man in the clip has all three. The prompt bans them unless your photo shows them. Use a sharp, recent photo and run it again.
Your face looks less like youUse a close, front-facing photo in good light. A side view or a far photo keeps less of your face.
Your outfit changesThe clothes come from your photo, so a photo that shows your outfit from the knees up keeps it best.
A logo or letters show on your clothesThe prompt asks for clothes without words or logos. Use a photo in plain clothes.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

Which sound, caption and hashtags should you post it with?

Your clip comes with the clip's own sound, the Fergie Baby track that every Fergie Baby TikTok trend video uses. On TikTok it is the sound "Uptown Shooters N' Bronx Bombers" by Fergie Baby; tap it on any trend post to use it. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it. Rules differ from platform to platform, so check them before you use the clip in an ad or a paid post.

Caption ideas: "Good day to be uptown", "Me walking out of the house on payday", "POV: the song comes on and you forget where you are going". Or write your own.

Hashtags: #fergiebabytrend (303 TikTok videos on 15 October 2026), #fergiebaby (655 videos, 1.29 million views) and #swaggerwalk (95 videos). Keep the platform's AI label on.

Keep it honest. Make it with your own face or a friend who said yes, and never with someone's face who did not agree.

FAQ

Fergie Baby trend questions

What is the Fergie Baby trend?
It is a TikTok trend from October 2026 built on a clip by Harlem rapper Fergie Baby: he walks out of a park gate and rap-dances down the path toward the camera. In the Fergie Baby AI trend, people put their own face into that swagger walk. On MakeViral you add one photo and get your version with the song on it.
Who is Fergie Baby?
Fergie Baby is a rapper from Harlem, New York. His walk-and-rap clip of 26 September 2026, posted to announce his album, started the trend: 473,900 views on TikTok by 15 October. MakeViral has no link to him, and this template does not use his clip or his face.
What is the Fergie Baby song?
It is the Fergie Baby track heard in his original clip; on TikTok the sound is called "Uptown Shooters N' Bronx Bombers", credited to Fergie Baby, the name of his album. Your MakeViral video comes with the same song on it, and you can turn it off. His other Fergie Baby songs include Good Day To Be In Harlem.
Is Juelz Santana on the Fergie Baby song?
We could not confirm that. The TikTok sound is credited to Fergie Baby alone, but many listeners in the comments say his flow sounds like Juelz Santana, which is why people search for Fergie Baby and Juelz Santana together.
How do I make the Fergie Baby AI video with my photo?
Press "Create your own" and add one clear photo of yourself. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. Your Fergie Baby AI video waits in your Library when it is ready, with the song on it. You write no prompt, and you do not need a Fergie Baby trend tutorial or an editing app.
Is there a Fergie Baby CapCut template or filter?
Yes, the Fergie Baby trend CapCut tutorials use a CapCut template, and some call it the City Song filter or the City Song AI trend. This page is a Fergie Baby template of its own: it copies the walk from your photo with Seedance 2.5 and puts the song back on, so you need no CapCut account and no Fergie Baby filter.
Can I put a TV character or a celebrity into the walk?
No. Some viral AI versions of the swagger walk show TV actors or costumed heroes. This template only puts in the person from your own photo, in your own clothes, and never a celebrity or a costume of a film or TV character.
What is the Harlem walk dance?
It is what many people call the Fergie Baby dance: a relaxed rap walk with bounces, shrugs and hands to the head, the way rappers walk and perform in the street in Harlem. As a Harlem walk meme it spreads in AI videos, where anyone can do the swagger walk in the same park.
Can I make an AI swagger walk video of my pet?
Not yet. No pet version of the walk exists to copy, so this template makes the swagger walk AI video of a person only. For a dancing pet, try the AI dancing pet templates.
Which prompt does this template use?
None was shared: the trend runs on a closed CapCut template, and no creator or AI site published a prompt for it. Our prompt describes the clip second by second, tells the AI to copy your face, hair and skin tone from your photo in every frame, and bans the original walker's locs, beard and brown suit unless your photo shows them.
How long is the video and what format is it?
15 seconds, one continuous shot, as a vertical MP4 at 720p with the song on it, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. There is no watermark.
Does the Fergie Baby video cost credits?
Yes. Each AI rap video like this, with you as the rapper, costs credits, and the create page shows the exact price on the Generate button before you spend anything. If a video fails, the credits come back.
Is my photo private?
Yes. MakeViral does not post your photo or the result anywhere or show them to other users. The result goes to your private Library, and you can delete it there at any time.
