Which photo works best?

Upload one photo: of yourself for Solo and Driveway, of your pet for Pet.

  • Solo and Driveway: head to toes if you can, face to the camera, sharp and in good light. Both videos show your whole body, so a full-body photo gives the best fit; your clothes come from the photo too.
  • No sunglasses, no hat that hides the face and no beauty filter.
  • Driveway: the bare feet and the shoes in your hand come from the scene, so any shoes in the photo are fine. A night-out outfit fits the look best.
  • Pet: one animal, the whole body in view, eyes open, in daylight. The fur colors, ears and markings come from your photo.
  • Any background works: the stage or the driveway comes from the trend.
  • Use your own photo, a friend (18+) who said yes, or your own pet. Never a celebrity or a stranger.

Where did the We Don't Talk Anymore trend start?

The song is "We Don't Talk Anymore" by Charlie Puth featuring Selena Gomez, from 2016. The dance trend is new. On 20 September 2026 the Vietnamese dancer @trphyanh2001 posted a freestyle to a sped-up cut of the song on an empty stage: arms wide, a hair flip, a spin, a knee lift, no fixed steps. Her clip passed 963,000 views and 144,000 likes, and her sound became the sound of the trend: 219 TikTok videos used it by 13 November.

The We Don't Talk Anymore TikTok trend kept growing through October, mostly with solo dancers filming a freestyle at night, on rooftops and on empty streets. In November it got its newest look: a barefoot driveway dance after a night out, with the shoes swinging in one hand under a phone flash. On 12 November 2026 AI video apps started to run ads with that night version, and searches for "we don't talk anymore dancing road" show up in Google suggestions.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same empty studio stage with a black curtain behind, a row of small ceiling spotlights and black panels at the top, a glossy grey floor that reflects the dancer, the same fixed wide camera with the whole body in view, the same timing and moves. The ONLY change: the dancer is now the person in [Image 1]. The dancer = 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), and the body type. The dancer wears the clothes from [Image 1]; if [Image 1] shows only the head or the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally. The same real person in every frame, from the first second to the last, so their friends instantly recognize them, also during the spin and the hair flip. Never morph, never drift back to the original dancer's face. NO long auburn hair and NO lilac cargo pants unless [Image 1] shows them. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the dancer is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings. THE DANCE, beat by beat, exactly as the original dancer does it, a loose and happy freestyle: 00:00-00:02: walks into the center, arms loose out to the sides, then opens both arms wide. 00:02-00:04: turns to the side with one hand behind the head, then bends forward and flips the hair. 00:04-00:07: a wide step, the arms cross in front of the chest, then both hands frame the face. 00:07-00:09: both arms up high over the head, then one arm out, pointing. 00:09-00:11: a low dip to the side and a quick spin. 00:11-00:13: small steps, hands at the chest, then a wide step with one arm out. 00:13-00:15: a knee lift, then one arm sweeps up over the head. Every move happens at the same moment, in the same direction, at the same speed and size as in [Video 1]. Real live-action footage, clear facial features. Exactly one person on the stage. One head only, on the dancer's shoulders, two arms, two hands with five fingers, two legs. A face never appears on the hands, the legs or the clothes. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. No cuts, no text, no captions, no logos, no watermark, no extra people, no morphing, no facial distortion.

Vertical phone video at night, one continuous handheld take, a real camera look (not a cartoon): a quiet suburban street after a party, a dark house with a garage door, a low trimmed hedge and an asphalt driveway, lit only by the hard white flash light of the phone, so the dancer throws a long sharp shadow on the asphalt and the background falls off into darkness. The dancer = 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), and the body type. The dancer wears the clothes from [Image 1]; if [Image 1] shows only the head or the upper body, invent the rest so it matches naturally, as a night-out outfit. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once, also during the spin. Never morph. If [Image 1] shows an animal, that animal dances upright on its hind legs in the dancer's place, with its own face, fur and markings. The dancer is barefoot and holds a pair of shoes by the straps in one hand the whole time. Tired but happy after the night out, loose and carefree, a big smile. [0-2s] full body, the dancer walks down the driveway toward the camera barefoot, swinging the shoes. [2-5s] a loose freestyle: hip sways, the arm with the shoes swings out and back, the free arm waves, small steps on the asphalt. [5-7s] a knee lift, then a slow, small spin on the spot, the shoes swinging out. [7-10s] the dancer comes closer, now from the knees up, the face big and sharp and exactly as in [Image 1], throws both arms wide with the shoes in one hand and laughs into the lens. Exactly one person. One head only, two arms, two hands with five fingers, one pair of shoes in one hand, bare feet. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. No text on screen, no subtitles, no watermark, no logos, no brand names on the shoes, no street signs, no license plates.

Recreate the reference video [Video 1] shot for shot: the same empty studio stage with a black curtain behind, a row of small ceiling spotlights and black panels at the top, a glossy grey floor, the same fixed wide camera, the same timing and moves. The ONLY change: the dancer is now the pet in [Image 1]. Nothing of the original dancer stays in any frame. The dancer = the pet in [Image 1], whole body, 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 instantly recognizes it. It stands upright on its hind legs like a person the whole time and dances with its front paws in place of arms. A dog stays a dog and a cat stays a cat. No clothes, no human face, no human hands, no long hair. THE DANCE, matching [Video 1] second by second, a loose and happy freestyle: 00:00-00:02: walks into the center on its hind legs, front paws out to the sides, then opens both front legs wide. 00:02-00:04: turns to the side with one paw behind the head, then bends forward and shakes the head. 00:04-00:07: a wide step, the front paws cross in front of the chest, then both paws by the face. 00:07-00:09: both front paws up high over the head, then one paw out, pointing. 00:09-00:11: a low dip to the side and a quick spin, the ears and tail swinging. 00:11-00:13: small steps, paws at the chest, then a wide step with one paw out. 00:13-00:15: lifts one hind leg, then one front paw sweeps up over the head. Exactly one animal on the stage, no people. One head only, one muzzle, four legs, one tail if the animal has one, animal paws, never human hands. No dialogue throughout the entire video. No background music. No cuts, no text, no captions, no logos, no watermark.

7 to 9 sBoth arms up high, then one arm out, pointing.

What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

ProblemFix
Your face looks a little off in SoloThe stage reel is a wide shot, so the face is small. Use a sharp, front-facing photo and run it again.
You get long auburn hair or lilac pants (Solo)The dancer in the reel has both. The prompt bans them unless your photo shows them. Run it again.
The shoes merge with your hand (Driveway)The scene asks for one pair of shoes held by the straps. Run it again for a new take.
Your pet does fewer moves than the reelPets dance on their hind legs here, and some takes keep it simpler. Run it again.
The model refuses a photoSome photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo.

Which prompt does this template use?
