## What is the We Don't Talk Anymore trend, and where did it 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.

### 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, head to toes, face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 228 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   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.

#### Variant: Driveway

Settings: 1 photo (you, head to toes, face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 126 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 10 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   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.

#### Variant: Pet

Settings: 1 photo (your pet, whole body, face clear) · Seedance 2.5 · 15 s · 720p · 9:16 · no sound · 228 credits in one tap.

1. The video prompt is filled in. Settings: Seedance 2.5, 15 s, 720p, 9:16, sound off. The video prompt:

   ```text
   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.

### 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.

## 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 |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seedance 2.5 (this template) | 15 s, 720p, copies the trend clip, one tap | 228 |

Credits come with a plan; see [pricing](https://www.makeviral.ai/pricing). A failed video gives its credits back.

## What does each version of the We Don't Talk Anymore dance make?

| Version | What you get | Length |
|---|---|---|
| **Solo** | You in the trend's original stage reel: the same empty stage, spotlights and fixed wide camera, the same freestyle moves, with your face and clothes. | 15 s |
| **Driveway** | A new night scene from your photo: you walk barefoot down a driveway with your shoes in one hand, dance a loose freestyle in the phone-flash light, spin and laugh into the lens. This is the barefoot driveway dance from the newest wave. | 10 s |
| **Pet** | Your dog, cat or other pet on the same stage, on its hind legs, doing the same freestyle with its front paws. | 15 s |

**How it works:** the best AI video models available copy the reel with your face for Solo and Pet, and build the Driveway scene straight from your photo. Every version is vertical, at 720p, with the trend's sped-up sound put back on after the run, so the song is on your video. A run takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything. Every run is a new take, so results differ.

## Freestyle, not choreo: what are the moves?

There is no fixed We Don't Talk Anymore choreo. The point of the trend is a loose freestyle that looks easy and happy. The stage reel that Solo copies goes like this:

| Time | Move |
|---|---|
| 0 to 2 s | Walk into the center, arms loose, then open both arms wide. |
| 2 to 4 s | Turn to the side with a hand behind the head, then bend and flip the hair. |
| 4 to 7 s | A wide step, arms cross in front of the chest, both hands frame the face. |
| 7 to 9 s | Both arms up high, then one arm out, pointing. |
| 9 to 11 s | A low dip and a quick spin. |
| 11 to 15 s | Small steps, a wide step with one arm out, a knee lift and one arm sweeps up. |

If you want a We Don't Talk Anymore dance tutorial for your own moves, copy these beats in front of a mirror. If you want the video without learning it, make it here from one photo.

## What goes wrong, and how do you fix it?

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Your face looks a little off in Solo | The 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 reel | Pets dance on their hind legs here, and some takes keep it simpler. Run it again. |
| The model refuses a photo | Some photos get refused. The credits come back; try another photo. |

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

Your video comes with the trend's sped-up sound already on it, so it is ready to post; you can turn it off on the result screen. 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.

**Hashtags:** #wedonttalkanymore (220,583 TikTok videos and 2.88 billion views on 13 November 2026), #freestyle and #dancechallenge. Keep the platform's AI label on.

## We Don't Talk Anymore trend questions

### What is the We Don't Talk Anymore dance trend?

It is a TikTok trend where people dance a loose freestyle to a sped-up cut of "We Don't Talk Anymore" by Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez. It took off with @trphyanh2001's stage freestyle on 20 September 2026 (963,300 views by 13 November). There are no fixed steps: arm swings, a hair flip, a spin and a knee lift. Many dancers post it as the We Don't Talk Anymore dance challenge with #dancechallenge.

### What is the barefoot driveway dance?

It is the newest version of the We Don't Talk Anymore trend: you walk barefoot down a driveway at night, your shoes in one hand, and dance a happy freestyle in the phone-flash light, as if you just came home from a party. Pick Driveway to make it from one photo.

### What is "we don't talk anymore dancing road"?

People search it for the night version of the trend, where the dancer freestyles on a road or driveway. The Driveway version makes that scene with you in it.

### How do I make the We Don't Talk Anymore AI dance with my photo?

Press "Create your own", pick Solo, Driveway or Pet and add one clear photo. Press Generate; the button shows the price first. You get a vertical video with the trend's sound, and it waits in My videos when it is ready. You write no prompt.

### Can my dog or cat do the We Don't Talk Anymore dance?

Yes. Pick Pet. Your pet takes the dancer's place on the trend's stage, stands on its hind legs and does the same freestyle with its front paws, with the sound on. Use a sharp photo of one animal with the whole body in view.

### Is there a We Don't Talk Anymore CapCut template for the trend?

CapCut templates of the song are mostly lyric and photo edits. This page makes a real dance video instead: your photo goes into the freestyle, on the stage or on the driveway, as an MP4 with the sound.

### Which version of the song is it: the TikTok version or the sped up one?

The trend uses a sped-up cut, often called the We Don't Talk Anymore TikTok version. Your video gets the same sped-up sound as the trend's original reel.

### Is the dancer from the original reel in my video?

No. In Solo and Pet the reel is only a hidden guide for the stage, the camera and the moves. Your face and clothes, or your pet, replace the dancer in every frame.

### Which prompt does this template use?

No creator of the trend shared a prompt; the original reels are real dances. This template uses its own prompts, written in the shapes that work best for dance copies and photo scenes, with rules that keep your face from the photo, or your pet's fur, ears and markings.

### How long is the video and what format is it?

Solo and Pet are 15 seconds, Driveway is 10 seconds. All are vertical MP4 files at 720p with the trend's sound, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, with no watermark.

### Does the We Don't Talk Anymore dance video cost credits?

Yes. Each video 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 the video real?

No. The dance is made by AI from one still photo, and nobody filmed you. Keep the AI label on when you post it.
