The moment
Your video has the pink room and the close-ups
The Hotline Bling moment is the room: a huge empty box glowing pink with one small figure dancing at the far end, then a cut to a close-up from below, one hand in the air, eyes closed, feeling it.
Your Hotline Bling AI video has eight of those shots in 15 seconds with the face and clothes from your photo: the wide pink room, the low squat in magenta, the lean on the wall, the green room and the finger pointed at the camera, with the song on it.
- The wide pink room
- The close-up, hand in the air
- The low squat in magenta
- The point at the camera

Background
From Drake's video to the Hotline Bling AI trend
Hotline Bling's music video came out in October 2015: Drake dancing alone in empty rooms that glow pink, blue and green. His loose, dad-at-a-wedding moves were turned into memes within hours, and the video has been copied and parodied ever since.
The Hotline Bling AI trend brought it back in November 2026. On November 5 a version with two cartoon characters taking turns in the rooms appeared on TikTok, and within days there were Avatar, Frozen and Egyptian-god versions on the same cuts.

FAQ
Hotline Bling AI FAQ
What is the Hotline Bling AI trend?
+
The Hotline Bling AI trend is a run of videos that put someone new in Drake's “Hotline Bling” music video: the same glowing colour rooms and the same dance, with a friend, a dad or a pair of cartoon characters doing the moves. The Hotline Bling AI trend began spreading on TikTok in early November 2026.
How do I make a Hotline Bling AI video?
+
To make a Hotline Bling AI video, pick just you or you and a friend, upload the photos on this page and hit Generate. MakeMeme builds the colour rooms and makes you do the dance, so there is nothing to film or edit.
Can two people be in the Hotline Bling AI video?
+
Yes. Pick “Me + a friend” and the Hotline Bling AI video uses two photos: the lead gets the pink room and the close-ups, and the second dancer gets the squat, the wall and the green room. The versions being shared are mostly pairs.
Will I wear my own clothes in the Hotline Bling AI video?
+
Yes. In the Hotline Bling AI video you keep the clothes from your photo. If the photo doesn't show your legs, plain trousers and shoes that suit the top are added.
Can I put a character in the Hotline Bling AI video?
+
Yes. Hotline Bling AI works with a picture of a character as well as a photo of a person, and character pairs are what most people post: a sponge and a starfish, two blue aliens, a pair of Egyptian gods.
Can I put Drake or another celebrity in the Hotline Bling AI video?
+
Your Hotline Bling AI video can star you, a friend, a relative or a character, and people you know are what gets shared. Photos of celebrities and other public figures aren't accepted.
Which photo works best for Hotline Bling AI?
+
For Hotline Bling AI, a clear photo from the waist up or full body works best, with one person facing the camera in good light. Three of the eight shots are close-ups, so the face matters most.
How long is the Hotline Bling AI video?
+
The Hotline Bling AI video is 15 seconds, widescreen 16:9 like the music video, with eight shots cut to the song.
What AI is used for Hotline Bling videos?
+
Hotline Bling videos on MakeMeme use the AI video model that fits this trend best: it follows the rooms, the cuts and the moves and keeps each face from its photo, in widescreen 16:9 at 480p, 720p or 1080p.
Is the Hotline Bling AI free?
+
No. AI video generation is expensive to run, so making the Hotline Bling AI video always costs money. On MakeMeme each video costs from 30 credits, paid from a credit pack, with no watermark. Most videos are ready in a few minutes, and we email you when yours is done.
What resolution is the Hotline Bling AI video, and how many credits does it cost?
+
For the Hotline Bling AI video you pick the resolution before you generate: 30 credits at 480p, 60 at 720p or 120 at 1080p. Every resolution gives the same 15-second cinematic widescreen video; higher resolutions are sharper.
Only upload photos of yourself, of people who agreed to be in your video or of characters. The video is a parody. MakeMeme isn't affiliated with Drake, his labels or the creators of the viral clips.
