"Hideaway" is the 2014 dance hit by the Canadian singer Kiesza, known for its one-take music video of her dancing down a street. On 4 September 2025 the creator @pivchanskiy.danya posted a clip of the song's "ooh, ah" part, "U? A!", and that sound became the Hideaway TikTok song people use: 1.3 million views on his post, and 304,183 videos on the sound by 26 October 2026. Through the autumn of 2025 and the spring of 2026 it backed car edits, couple clips and party clips, some with millions of views. The Hideaway trend as people know it now took off in August 2026. On 16 August @lilyrowland1 posted "Made some friends": she sings the hook into a phone on the ground, then runs back and dances wildly in front of a row of friends who do not move. It reached 34.1 million views, and "Started a trend apparently" followed on 15 September. Friend groups, couples, nurses, moms and K-pop groups made their own takes, and on 28 September Kiesza posted "So cool tha Hideaway is trending yet again!". People call it the Hideaway dance trend, or the uuu aaa trend after the hook. The AI side came next. Phone-editor AI templates of the dance appeared from 19 September, and an AI template for any characters gave the trend its AI scene: an open gravel lot at sunset, apartment blocks and blue tractors behind, one dancer, and a second face that pops into the lens to sing. Its first big post is two AI cats by @ashanolas (7 October 2026, 262,000 views), the reel on this page. That is the Hideaway AI trend this template makes. ### Hideaway Trend trend timeline - **2025-09-04**: @pivchanskiy.danya posts the "U?

Take it with the camera or pick it from your library. Start here: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hideaway-dance-ai-trend/create 2. **Press Generate.** The button shows the price. Kling 3.0 Motion Control takes the moves of the Hideaway trend clip and plays them with the one in your photo, in your photo's own scene, for about 11 seconds, with the reel's original sound. 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 prompt animates your own photo directly. To change it, copy it and edit it in AI Video. #### Variant: Solo Settings: 1 photo (you (18+), head to hips or head to knees) · kling-3-motion · 11 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 44 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: kling-3-motion, 11 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Strictly replicate the camera movements and actions of the character in the video. Replace the character in the video with the person from the uploaded image. Keep actions, poses, facial expressions and rhythm. Preserve the person's original facial features, maintain character consistency, no distortion, no glitches, no artifacts. The person dances in the place from the uploaded image, in the clothes from the uploaded image, not the multicolor striped top, the gold necklace or the black ruffled skirt of the dancer in the video, and keeps their own hair from the uploaded image, not long straight blonde hair. Follow the dancer's moves and timing exactly: leaning in very close to the camera and singing a long 'ooh... ah' with the eyes closed and big, dramatic faces, stepping back and tapping both hands on the chest to the beat, swinging the arms side to side, spinning around with the back to the camera and a hair flip, turning back with a wide-eyed stare, then singing to the camera again with both hands up by the face. Keep the body in view from the head to the hips, with natural balance. Exactly one person, no other people. One continuous shot, no cuts, no text, no captions, no logos. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hideaway-dance-ai-trend/create #### Variant: Duo Settings: 2 photos (you, the one who dances + your friend, who films and sings) · Seedance 2.5 · 12 s · 720p · 9:16 · with sound · 152 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 12 s, 720p, 9:16, sound on. The video prompt: ```text Create a photorealistic vertical phone video of two friends doing a viral dance trend in an open lot at sunset: one dances, the other films and pops into the camera to sing. Never write the words of this prompt, photo labels or file names as text anywhere in the video. The dancer 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). They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 1]. The friend who films 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). They wear the clothes from [Image 2]. 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 performer is that animal, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The place: a wide, empty gravel lot at golden-hour sunset, warm orange light, long shadows, a pale clear sky. Behind the dancer: plain beige five-storey apartment blocks, two parked blue farm tractors, parked cars far back. ONE CONTINUOUS HANDHELD PHONE SHOT, filmed by the friend from [Image 2], NO CUTS. 0-3 s: the dancer, in the middle of the lot, seen head to knees, breaks into a loose, playful, wild dance: shoulder bounces, hip sways, arms flung wide, a goofy turn. 3-4.5 s: the friend turns the phone to their own face: the face from [Image 2] fills the lower half of the frame, very close to the lens, singing a long 'ooh... ah!' with big, dramatic faces, the dancer still dancing small behind. 4.5-8 s: back to the dancer, who dances harder: a spin, arms up, a stomp, a hair flip, a big grin. 8-9.5 s: the friend's face pops in close to the lens again, eyes wide: 'ooh... ah!' 9.5-12 s: the dancer ends with both arms thrown up and a laugh, the sunset glowing behind. VISUAL STYLE: photorealistic, like a real phone video, natural golden light, slightly shaky handheld, 9:16 vertical. Exactly two people, one head each, on their own shoulders. NO morphing faces, NO extra people, NO distorted hands. NO logos, brand names or text on the tractors, the buildings or anywhere, no subtitles, no watermark. Audio: an upbeat deep-house dance beat with a bright piano, the friend singing 'ooh... ah!' on top, light wind outdoors. No other words. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hideaway-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=duo #### Variant: Pet Settings: 2 photos (pet 1, who dances (whole body) + pet 2, who sings into the camera (face clear)) · h3-recast · 12 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 144 credits in one tap. 1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: h3-recast, 12 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt: ```text Image 1 replaces the cat who dances upright on its hind legs in the middle of the gravel lot, in every shot. Image 2 replaces the cat whose face pops up very close to the camera and sings, in every shot. Use image 1 and image 2 as the appearance references for the two pets: keep each pet's face shape, ears, fur colors, fur length, markings, body proportions and role consistent; do not swap roles or merge identities. SAME IDENTITY. FIXED ROLES. NO ROLE SWAP. Each pet keeps its own head shape, ears, fur length and coat from its own image, not those of the cats in the video. Each pet keeps the natural body volume and proportions of its own animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. If an image shows a dog, it is that dog with its own face, ears and coat, up on its hind legs to dance or with its face close to the lens. If both images show the same pet, it plays both roles. Keep the gravel lot, the sunset light, the apartment blocks, the parked tractors, the dance moves, the motion, the timing and the camera exactly as in the video. No people. No text, no logos. ``` 2. Press Generate, then download the 9:16 MP4. One-tap version of this variant: https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/hideaway-dance-ai-trend/create?variant=pet ### Which photo works best? You need **one photo for Solo** and **two photos for Duo or Pet**. - **Solo:** stand with your body in view, head to hips or head to knees, face to the camera. The video keeps your photo's place and frame, so pick a spot with a little room: a bedroom, a hallway, a street, a kitchen. - **Duo:** photo 1 is the one who dances, photo 2 is the friend who films and sings into the camera. One person per photo, face clear and sharp. - **Pet:** photo 1 dances on its hind legs, photo 2 sings into the lens. Use a whole-body photo for pet 1 and a clear face for pet 2. Only one pet? Upload its photo twice and it plays both parts. - Wear what you want to dance in: your clothes stay. No sunglasses, no mask, no beauty filter. - This template is for adults and pets. Use photos of yourself or of adults who agreed, never a celebrity, a stranger or a child. ## 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 | | --- | --- | --- | | Kling 3.0 Motion Control (this template) | 11 s, 720p, copies the moves of the trend clip, one tap | 44 | Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back. ## What happens in the Hideaway trend video? Every version keeps the two parts of the trend: the sung "ooh, ah" right into the camera, and the wild dance. | Seconds | Solo (your own place) | Duo (the sunset lot) | Pet (the AI cat reel) | |---|---|---|---| | 0-3 | You lean close to the lens and sing a long "ooh... ah" with your eyes closed | Photo 1 starts to dance in the lot | Pet 1 stands up on its hind legs and starts to dance | | 3-5 | You step back and tap your chest to the beat | Photo 2 turns the phone and sings "ooh... ah!" into it | Pet 2 pops its face into the lens and sings | | 5-8 | Arm swings, then a spin with a hair flip | Photo 1 dances harder: a spin, arms up, a stomp | Pet 1 dances, pet 2 pops in again | | 8-11 | A wide-eyed stare, then you sing to the camera again | Photo 2 pops in once more, then photo 1 ends with arms up | Paws up, a turn, the last face in the lens | Solo and Pet get the trend sound back after the run, on the same seconds, so the clip is ready to post as a Hideaway TikTok dance. Duo makes its own dance beat with the sung "ooh, ah". Every run is a new take, so the moves and the timing differ a little. ## Solo, Duo or Pet: which version should you pick? Press "Create your own" and pick one, or press the button under the reel on this page. | | Solo (default) | Duo | Pet | |---|---|---|---| | Photos | 1: you | 2: you dance, a friend films and sings | 2: one pet dances, one sings (or the same pet twice) | | How it works | The AI takes only the moves of a solo take of the trend and plays them with you | The AI makes the sunset lot scene from your two photos | The AI puts your pets into the viral AI cat reel, shot for shot | | Where | Your photo's own place | An open lot at sunset, apartment blocks and tractors behind | The same lot at sunset | | Frame | Your photo's frame, 720p | Vertical 9:16, 720p | Vertical 9:16, 720p | | Length | 11 s | 12 s | 12 s | | Sound | The trend sound, put back on after the run | A dance beat the video makes, with the sung "ooh, ah" | The trend sound, put back on after the run | **Solo** is the Hideaway trend TikTok as most people post it: one phone, you sing, you dance. **Duo** is the AI version of the trend with friends: the dancer and the friend behind the phone, who keeps popping in to sing. **Pet** is the cat version that made the trend an AI trend. The videos come from top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5. The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. ## Which song and hashtags should you post it with? The Hideaway TikTok song is "Hideaway" by Kiesza (2014), and the trend uses the short "U? A!" clip of its hook. Solo and Pet come with that trend sound on the same seconds; you can turn it off on the result screen and pick the sound on TikTok when you post instead (search "Hideaway" or the hook). Duo has no song in it: add the sound in the app when you post. The song belongs to its owners, and MakeViral gives you no rights to it; check the platform's music rules before you use the clip in an ad or a paid post. **Hashtags:** #hideaway (179,011 videos, many of them about other things), #kiesza (13,846), #uuuaaa (855), #hideawaychallenge (343) and #hideawaytrend (152), counts on 26 October 2026. Keep the platform's AI label on. Want more dances with friends or pets?

The prompt bans them unless your photo has them; run it again. | | The frame is tight or the hands blur in the spin (Solo) | Solo keeps your photo's frame. Use a sharp photo with you in view from head to hips. | | The two faces look alike, or the singer's face is stretched by the lens (Duo) | Use sharp, well-lit photos with the faces to the camera, then run it again. | | A pet takes the coat of the cats in the reel (Pet) | Use bright, sharp photos where the fur and face are clear. A second run comes out different. | | The video model refuses the photo | Use a normal, fully dressed photo of an adult, or a plain pet photo, one subject per photo. | ## Hideaway Trend trend questions ### What is the Hideaway trend? It is the TikTok trend on Kiesza's song "Hideaway": you sing the "ooh, ah" of the hook right into a phone, often set on the ground, then run back and dance wildly while your friends stand still with straight faces. It took off in August 2026 with @lilyrowland1's "Made some friends" (34.1 million views), and the trend sound had 304,183 videos by 26 October 2026. ### What is the Hideaway TikTok song? It is "Hideaway" by Kiesza, a 2014 dance hit. The Hideaway TikTok song people use is a short clip of its "ooh, ah" hook, posted by @pivchanskiy.danya on 4 September 2025 as "U? A!". That is why people also search uuu aaa song TikTok. MakeViral puts that trend sound on Solo and Pet; the song belongs to its owners. ### How do I make the Hideaway dance AI video? Press "Create your own", pick Solo, Duo or Pet, and add your photos: one for Solo, two for Duo or Pet. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get an 11 to 12 second Hideaway AI video: the Hideaway AI trend you see on TikTok, made from your own photos. You write no prompt. ### Is it a dance or a challenge? Both names are used. Kiesza's music video made the Hideaway dance famous in 2014, and people tag the trend as the Hideaway challenge or the Hideaway dance challenge too (#hideawaychallenge has 343 videos, some of them older covers of other songs called "Hide Away"). The 2026 Hideaway trend is looser: no fixed steps, just the sung hook and a wild, happy dance. This template makes the 2026 version. ### Why do people call it the uuu aaa trend? Because of the hook: the trend clip starts on Kiesza's "ooh, ah", and people write it as "uuu aaa", "U? A!" or "ooh ahh" in their captions. The uuu aaa trend, the Hideaway trend and the Kiesza Hideaway TikTok trend are the same thing. ### Can I do the Hideaway trend with friends? Yes. Pick Duo for the Hideaway trend with friends: photo 1 dances in an open lot at sunset, photo 2 is the friend who films and pops into the camera to sing. In the real posts the friends often stand still behind the dancer; the AI Duo follows the AI template, where the filmer sings. Use photos of adults who agreed. ### Can my cat or dog do the Hideaway cat dance? Yes, that is the Pet version. It copies the AI cat reel that made the Hideaway cat dance popular: one pet dances on its hind legs at sunset, the other pops its face into the lens and sings. Use two pet photos, or the same pet twice. Dogs work too. ### Is there a Kiesza Hideaway meme or tutorial? The Kiesza Hideaway meme is the trend itself: the sung "ooh, ah" into the camera, then the dance with friends who do not move. People who want the steps of the 2014 music video search for a Kiesza Hideaway dance tutorial; the trend itself needs no fixed steps. For a Hideaway dance video from your photo, use this template. ### Will the people from the original posts be in my video? No. Solo takes only the moves of a solo take, never the dancer, and Duo is made from your two photos alone. Pet replaces both AI cats of the reel with your pets. MakeViral uses no clip of the singer, of the music video or of any K-pop group. Use photos of yourself or of adults who agreed, never a celebrity, a stranger or a child. ### Which AI models make the videos? Top-quality AI video models, including Seedance 2.5. Solo copies the moves onto the person in your photo, in your photo's frame. Duo builds the sunset lot scene straight from your two photos, with no in-between picture. Pet puts your pets into the AI cat reel shot for shot. All are 720p. MakeViral picks the model for each run. ### What prompt does the Hideaway AI trend use? No creator of the trend shared one: the human posts are real dances, and the AI templates of the trend are closed apps that show no prompt. Our prompts follow our tested setups for each kind of video, with the trend's scene (the sunset lot, the sung "ooh, ah", the dance), and keep your face, your hair and your clothes. ### How long is the video and what format is it? Solo makes 11 seconds in your photo's frame, Duo and Pet make 12 seconds, vertical 9:16. All are 720p MP4 files with sound and no watermark. ## Other AI video templates and tools - [A2O LITE NEON Dance: Do the Duo Intro From Your Photos](https://www.makeviral.ai/templates/a2o-lite-neon-ai-dance): The sway, the spin kick, the high-and-low pose and the squat: the viral NEON intro from A2O LITE's debut song.
