How to make the Not Like Us Halftime video on MakeViral

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

  1. Add the two photos

    Press "Create your own" and add you, the headliner with the mic, then your friend, who dances beside you. 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.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Not Like Us halftime scene straight from your photos, with no in-between picture, for 10 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.

Which photo works best?

You need one photo for Solo and Pet, and two for Duo and Dance duo.

  • Duo: photo 1 is you, the headliner with the mic; photo 2 is your friend, who dances beside you. One person per photo.
  • Solo: one photo of you, face clear, waist up or full body.
  • Pet: a sharp photo of the whole animal, from ears to paws. Fur colors and markings come from the photo.
  • Dance duo: photo 1 dances on the left, photo 2 on the right. Full-body photos where you stand give the best legs.
  • Faces sharp and to the camera, good light, no sunglasses, no hat over the face. Your clothes come from your photos.
  • Use your own photo, a photo of an adult who said yes, or your own pet. Never a celebrity, a politician or a stranger.

Where did the Not Like Us Halftime trend start?

"Not Like Us" came out in May 2024, and its first TikTok dance wave started that same month, which many called the A Minor dance after a line of the song: the #notlikeusdance tag dates from 5 May 2024.

On 9 February 2025 the Kendrick Lamar halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans played the song near the end of the show, and the Not Like Us dance trend came back. Three days later, on 12 February, the German creator @delosaaaa and her friend posted the halftime two-step side by side on a night plaza, captioned "YOU REALLY 'BOUT TO DO IT?". It had 5.5 million views and 554,400 likes by 10 November 2026. Duos copied it all February: the twin dancers of @_luis.lz posted theirs on 20 February and reached 4.9 million views.

In autumn 2026 the stage itself became an AI trend. On 15 October HotNewHipHop reported on a 12-second AI copy of the show made for a US politician's campaign, which drew wide criticism, and from 30 October several AI video sites added Not Like Us halftime templates where you and a friend take the two lead spots. On 10 November 2026 #notlikeus held 289,463 TikTok videos and 10.5 billion views.

  1. The #notlikeusdance tag starts on TikTok, days after the song came out; it holds 356 videos and 4.4 million views by 10 November 2026.

  2. The rapper of "Not Like Us" headlines the halftime show at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans and plays the song near the end.

  3. @delosaaaa and her friend post the halftime two-step side by side on a night plaza; the reel has 5.5 million views, 554,400 likes and 14,900 shares by 10 November 2026. TikTok

  4. The twin dancers of @_luis.lz post their Not Like Us duo dance in a studio; it has 4.9 million views and 367,800 likes by 10 November 2026. TikTok

  5. HotNewHipHop reports on a 12-second AI copy of the halftime show made for a US politician's campaign, with politicians as the dancers; it drew wide criticism. HotNewHipHop

  6. AI video sites add Not Like Us halftime templates: two photos, you as the headliner and a friend as the second performer.

Take the stage at a stadium halftime show, filmed like a real live concert broadcast at night: a huge packed stadium in the dark, thousands of phone lights twinkling in the stands, the field turned into a wide stage with glowing white light lines, bright white spotlights and light haze. Dozens of backup dancers in red, white and navy tracksuits stand in neat rows on the field behind the performers and bounce in sync. Photorealistic, natural skin, real stadium light, gentle broadcast camera moves, not CGI, not a cartoon. Only the two performers change. Medium and medium-wide shots keep both faces large, sharp and lit by the spotlights. The headliner, in the center-left with a black handheld microphone, 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), with the clothes from [Image 1]. The friend, who dances at the headliner's right side, 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), with the clothes from [Image 2]. If an image shows an animal, that performer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. Never blend their faces, never swap their clothes. Each face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once. The shots: 1. 0-3 s: a medium-wide shot from the front: the headliner walks toward the camera down the lit stage, rapping into the microphone with a playful, self-assured look, the rows of dancers bouncing behind. 2. 3-6 s: a medium shot: the friend steps in at the headliner's side and starts a smooth side-to-side two-step with alternating weight shifts, gentle knee bends and rhythmic shoulder bounce, with small, natural arm swings, while the headliner raps to the camera and bounces on the beat. 3. 6-10 s: a medium-wide shot that slowly pushes in: both dance side by side in time with the beat, the headliner points the free hand at the crowd, then both finish in a confident standing pose facing the camera. Audio: none of its own; a live rap song from a stadium show is put on afterwards, so the rapping must be easy to see: the headliner raps into the microphone with clear, confident lip movements on the beat. No dialogue. No background music. Only the two performers in front. No additional people in front, no sudden camera cuts inside a shot, no sliding feet, no distorted hands. No celebrity likeness: every face comes only from the photos. No game-controller-shaped stage, no flags, no stars-and-stripes patterns, no team, league, sponsor or event logos, no scoreboard, no readable text, no subtitles, no watermark.

Dozens of backup dancers in red, white and navy tracksuits stand in neat rows on the field behind the performers and bounce in sync. Photorealistic, natural skin, real stadium light, gentle broadcast camera moves, not CGI, not a cartoon. Only the headliner changes, and the headliner is a pet. Medium and medium-wide shots keep the pet large, sharp and lit by the spotlights. The headliner, in the center, is the pet in [Image 1], in every frame: the same species and breed, face, eyes, ears, muzzle, fur colors, fur length and markings as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything, so its owner recognizes it at once. It stands upright on its hind legs like a performer and holds a black handheld microphone in one front paw. It wears no clothes unless [Image 1] shows them. The shots: 1. 0-3 s: a medium-wide shot from the front: the pet walks upright toward the camera down the lit stage, the microphone at its mouth, with a playful, self-assured look, the rows of dancers bouncing behind. 2. 3-7 s: a medium shot: the pet moves into a smooth side-to-side two-step with alternating weight shifts, gentle knee bends and rhythmic shoulder bounce, the free front paw swinging, its mouth opening and closing on the beat. 3. 7-10 s: a medium-wide shot that slowly pushes in: the pet points its free paw at the crowd, then finishes in a confident standing pose facing the camera as the phone lights wave behind. Audio: none of its own; a live rap song from a stadium show is put on afterwards, so the rapping must be easy to see: the pet's mouth opens and closes on the beat. No barking. No dialogue. No background music. Anatomy rules: one head only, on the pet's own body; two hind legs on the stage and two front legs, no human hands. No people in front, only the backup dancers behind. No celebrity likeness: every face comes only from the photos. No game-controller-shaped stage, no flags, no stars-and-stripes patterns, no team, league, sponsor or event logos, no scoreboard, no readable text, no subtitles, no watermark.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same night plaza between tall glass towers, the steel lattice bridge overhead, the city lights, the same fixed phone camera low at hip height looking up, the same framing, timing and dance moves. Follow the reference video's movements, timing, performer positions and camera framing. The ONLY change: the dancer on the left is now the person in [Image 1], and the dancer on the right is now the person in [Image 2]. Dancer 1 (left) = 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) exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 1]. NO fur jacket, no black crop top and no olive baggy trousers unless [Image 1] shows them. Dancer 2 (right) = 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) exactly as in the photo. They wear the clothes and shoes from [Image 2]. NO fluffy dark fur jacket and no light grey sweatpants unless [Image 2] shows them, and no long dark hair unless [Image 2] shows it. The same real people in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them, also when they bounce, turn and swing their hair. Never morph, never drift back to the original dancers' faces, never add or remove facial hair. Do not mix the two faces: [Image 1] is only dancer 1, [Image 2] is only dancer 2. Both change: no one from the video stays. The dance, matching the reference second by second, on the beat: the two dance side by side in sync, a bouncy hip-hop two-step with knee bends, shoulder bounces, arm swings and side steps, and dancer 2 steps forward toward the camera near the end. Keep identities distinct throughout, with natural joint movement, grounded footwork and clear spacing between performers. Anatomy rules: one head per person, on that person's own shoulders. A face never appears on knees, legs, hands or clothes. Exactly two people. No face blending, role switching, duplicated dancers, extra limbs or added text. No logos, no watermark.

Dance duo copies the moves, the timing and the camera of the fan reel above. The exact price of each version shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ.

Does the video play the real Not Like Us song?

Yes. Every version comes with the song as the trend uses it: the sound of the @delosaaaa fan reel above, which is the halftime show's own audio of "Not Like Us". Duo, Solo and Pet get 10 seconds of the verse, and Dance duo gets the same 15 seconds that its dance moves follow. The sound goes on after the video is made, so the mouths follow the beat, not every word, and you can turn it off on the result screen.

Music rules differ from app to app, so check them before you use the clip in an ad or a paid post.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
The two faces swap or blend (Duo, Dance duo)Use two sharp photos with one person each, faces to the camera, then run it again. Photo 1 is always you.
A fur jacket or baggy grey sweatpants show up (Dance duo)The dancers in the reel wear them. The prompt bans them unless your photos have them; run it again.
Your friend gets long dark hair (Dance duo)Both dancers in the reel have long dark hair. Use a photo where your friend's hair is clear.
A face looks off in the wide shot (Duo, Solo)Faces are small in the first wide shot of the stage. Use a close, sharp photo; the medium shots then carry the face.
The lips do not match the wordsThe song goes on after the video, so the mouth follows the beat, not every word. Run it again for a closer take.
Your pet comes out too small or flat (Pet)Use a photo with the whole animal in view and sharp fur.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

What is the halftime two-step, and how do you do it?

The Not Like Us dance moves that went viral after the show are simple, which is why so many duos did them: a relaxed side-to-side two-step with the weight moving from foot to foot, gentle knee bends, a shoulder bounce on every beat and loose arm swings, done in sync with a friend and a lot of attitude. The reel by @delosaaaa on this page shows the whole routine.

The Not Like Us dance challenge works best with two people of the same height, a low phone camera and a night or stadium-light look. If you would rather skip the practice, the Dance duo version does the moves for both of you from two photos.

FAQ

Not Like Us Halftime trend questions

What is the Not Like Us halftime show AI trend?
It is an AI video trend of autumn 2026: you add a photo of yourself, or two photos of you and a friend, and an AI video generator puts you on a stadium halftime stage at night. The headliner raps with the mic, the friend dances beside them, and rows of dancers bounce behind. It copies the idea of the rapper's halftime show of 9 February 2025, not its footage.
Is this the real Kendrick halftime show or the Super Bowl footage?
No. The Kendrick halftime show of 9 February 2025 and its Super Bowl broadcast belong to their owners, and MakeViral uses no frame of them. Your stage, your dancers and your faces are made new by the AI from your photos, with no league, team or event logos. That is why the Not Like Us super bowl look here is a stadium at night, not the real show.
How do I make a Not Like Us AI video with my photo?
Press "Create your own", pick Duo, Solo, Pet or Dance duo, and add your photo, or two photos for Duo and Dance duo. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You write no prompt, and the video waits in My videos when it is ready.
Can I make the Not Like Us halftime video with a friend?
Yes. Duo puts you at the mic and your friend dancing beside you on the stage. Dance duo puts the two of you into the viral fan dance reel. Photo 1 is always you. Use a friend's photo only with their OK.
What is the They Not Like Us dance?
It is the dance people post to the song: a relaxed hip-hop two-step with knee bends, shoulder bounces and arm swings, usually done by two or more friends in sync. The first wave was in May 2024. After the halftime show of February 2025 a second wave of duo dances followed, led by the reel by @delosaaaa with 5.5 million views.
Where can I see the Not Like Us dance on TikTok?
Search #notlikeus (289,463 videos on 10 November 2026) or #theynotlikeus. The not like us dance tiktok posts with the most views include the reel by @delosaaaa (5.5 million) and the twin dancers of @_luis.lz (4.9 million). The Not Like Us trend on TikTok mostly lives under those two tags.
Does my video have the Not Like Us song on it?
Yes. Every version has the song as the trend uses it, from the halftime show's own audio as the @delosaaaa fan reel posted it: 10 seconds on Duo, Solo and Pet, 15 seconds on Dance duo. You can turn it off on the result screen.
Can my cat or dog do the Not Like Us halftime show?
Yes, with Pet. Add one sharp photo of your cat, dog or other pet. It stands upright with a microphone in one paw and headlines the stadium stage, with its own fur and markings. A Not Like Us cat or dog clip gets the song from the halftime show, like the other versions.
Is there a Not Like Us AI video generator prompt?
No creator of the trend shared a prompt. The template sites show only short lines ("Take the stage at a stadium halftime show") or general dance prompts. Our versions use those lines and their dance words, set up for our models. You write no prompt yourself.
What is the Kendrick halftime dance from the Super Bowl?
The Kendrick halftime dance most people copy is the relaxed two-step of the show's last minutes, often with a friend beside you. The not like us dance super bowl reels took off in the days after 9 February 2025, and the reel by @delosaaaa on this page was one of the first big ones.
Is there a Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us AI version with my face?
Yes, in the sense that you take the headliner's spot: a Kendrick Lamar Not Like Us AI version here puts your own face and clothes on a new halftime stage. It never makes you look like the rapper, and it never copies his face. The headliner is always you, your friend or your pet.
Is the They Not Like Us trend still going?
The big dance waves were in May 2024 and February 2025. The They Not Like Us trend came back in autumn 2026 as an AI trend, when AI video sites added halftime templates from 30 October 2026.
How long is the video and what format is it?
Duo, Solo and Pet make 10 seconds; Dance duo makes 15 seconds. All are vertical 9:16 MP4 files at 720p with no watermark, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
Is this halftime show AI video real?
No. A halftime show AI video is made from still photos, and you never stood on that stage. Use only your own photo, a photo of an adult who agreed, or your own pet, never a celebrity or a politician, and keep the AI label on when you post.
