The Stay With Me AI Video prompt and model
Stay With Me AI Video is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 15 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1–3 photos
- Replace the dancer The dancer in the opening wide shot is swapped for you, while the sunset truck stop, the whip pan and the timing stay as they are.
- Identity lock Your photo is the only source for your face, hair, build and outfit, and your face shape is held through the handheld close-ups.
- Your friends A friend can take the filmer's selfie shot and another the car arrival from their own photos; every part without a photo becomes an ordinary made-up adult in plain clothes.
- Timeline Wide dance, selfie look, whip pan to the cars, arrival close-up and a car-side finish across 15 seconds.
- Rules Photorealistic handheld phone look in warm sunset light, adults only, no kits, logos, text or watermark, loose singing mouths instead of exact lip-sync.
Replace the bearded man in a white polo shirt, light-blue jeans and white trainers who dances in the opening wide shot of Video 1 with the person from Image 1…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- A typed prompt alone gives a dance in a random lot; it loses the filmer's selfie shot, the whip pan to the cars and the arrival close-up in order.
- Without a motion reference the handheld, wide-angle phone look disappears and the clip turns into a smooth, staged commercial.
- Image tools make stills, not the dance, and plain face-swap apps keep the original jerseys, hair and bodies.
- Three different faces in one short clip drift into each other unless every person is tied to one photo, one role and one shot.

What is the Stay With Me AI Video trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
The parking lot dance is a short road-trip clip that turned into an AI template. A group of friends stops at a sunset truck stop. One of them dances, shouting the chorus and throwing his arms up. A friend films him selfie-style, the camera whips round to two parked cars, a third friend climbs out of a BMW and walks up, and the clip ends on a smiling close-up and a wide shot of the arrival beside the car. It is also called the Stay With Me trend, the gas station dance in Italy (where the stop is an autogrill) and, in AI form, the car reveal.
The song is "Stay With Me" by Akcent, a Romanian dance-pop group; it came out in 2009 and reached number 1 on the Romanian airplay chart. According to Italian press, the original video is from the summer of 2024 and shows three friends from Russia at a roadside stop. We could not confirm the first post or the creators, so this page does not name them. The revival is dated to late September 2026: Akcent's own TikTok account posted the clip on 23 September and drew about 955,000 plays, and on 2 October 2026 Sky TG24 reported that people were recreating it with new faces, from comedians to footballers.
AI makes the swap easy. Because the clip is only a dancer, a filmer and an arrival in one spot, the same cuts work for anyone: remakes now star celebrities, TV characters, pets and ordinary friend groups. As of 1 November 2026 the trend is spreading on TikTok and Instagram, with many tutorials and CapCut templates.
This page builds the 15-second videosi version from your own photos. Photo 1 is the dancer; photo 2 (optional) is the filmer; photo 3 (optional) is the person who arrives by car. Any box left empty is filled by a made-up adult in plain clothes, and the Akcent sound is already on the video. The original runs 17 to 19 seconds, so the last selfie shot is trimmed. videosi is not affiliated with Akcent or the original creators.
Stay With Me AI Video: shot by shot
- 0-4 s
The dance
Wide shot of an empty truck stop at sunset: the dancer bounces, sings along and throws both arms up while trucks and a petrol canopy sit behind.
- 4-6 s
Selfie look
The filmer swings the phone round to himself, grinning and waving into the lens, the dancer small in the background.
- 6-8 s
The whip pan
A fast whip pan sweeps across the lot to two parked cars, one door open and a person climbing out.
- 8-12 s
The arrival close-up
Close-up of the arriving person: a serious, searching look at first, then a big smile as the chorus lifts.
- 12-15 s
Car-side finish
Wide shot: the arriving person stands smiling next to the car, hands together in front, as the camera holds still and the song plays out.
Tips for a better result
Face the camera
The 4-second close-up of the arriving person is all about the face. A straight, front-facing photo with open eyes gives the best likeness.
Show your outfit
Hair and clothes come from the photo, and the dancer is seen head to toe in the wide shot. A photo that shows your top and trousers works better than a cropped selfie.
No sunglasses or masks
Clear glasses are fine. Sunglasses, masks and heavy filters hide the smile the whole clip builds toward.
One friend per photo
Each optional box takes one person. Use a separate photo for every friend rather than a group shot, and only add people who agreed to it.
Plain clothes beat logos
Team shirts and brand logos may come out blurred or changed. A plain T-shirt, jacket or dress looks right at a sunset truck stop.
Good to know before you make a Stay With Me AI Video video
- The "Stay With Me" sound is already on the video, but mouths move loosely: the dancer and the arrival do not lip-sync the lyrics word for word.
- Up to three people from your photos: photo 1 is always the dancer, photo 2 the filmer, photo 3 the person who arrives by car. Parts without a photo are made-up adults, and adding friends costs nothing extra.
- The original clip runs 17 to 19 seconds; this version is 15, so the very last selfie shot is cut. The truck stop and the cars are fixed, so there is no place or car to choose.
- Likeness is not guaranteed and drifts most in the moving close-up. Photos of children, celebrities and public figures are not accepted.
- A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically. videosi is not affiliated with Akcent, TikTok, CapCut or the people in the original video.

What AI model and prompt make the parking lot dance AI video?
videosi renders the parking lot dance AI video with ByteDance's Seedance 2.0 / 2.5, which you pick by tier. The model gets your photos plus the original trend clip as a motion reference, so the dance, cuts and camera stay the same while the people change. The full prompt is not published, and you never need to write one.
What song is used in the Stay With Me AI trend?
The trend uses "Stay With Me" by Akcent, a Romanian dance-pop group, released in 2009 and a number 1 on the Romanian airplay chart. It plays over every parking lot dance clip. The song is on the videosi video already; swap it in your app's sound library if you want another.
What does the parking lot dance mean and who is in the original?
The parking lot dance is a 2024 clip of three friends on a roadside stop who dance to "Stay With Me": one dances, one films in selfie style and one walks up from a parked BMW. Italian press reported on 2 October 2026 that AI tools revived it. videosi has not confirmed the creators' names or the first post.
Is the parking lot dance trend still trending?
As of 1 November 2026 the parking lot dance trend is spreading: Akcent's own account posted it on 23 September 2026 and drew about 955,000 plays, Italian news covered it on 2 October, and AI remakes with celebrities, characters and friends keep appearing. videosi's version is a 15-second clip of you.
Why did the video start with a dancer, a filmer and a car?
The clip has three parts: the dancer, the selfie-style filmer and the person who arrives by car. On videosi photo 1 is the dancer, photo 2 the filmer and photo 3 the arrival; each optional box takes one person, and an empty box becomes a made-up adult. Adding friends costs nothing extra.
Can I be the person who arrives by the car instead of the dancer?
Photo 1 always becomes the dancer, so you cannot swap the roles. On videosi, to star as the arrival, add yourself in photo 3 and put a friend's photo in photo 1, or leave photo 2 and 3 empty to be the dancer with made-up friends. The car and place are fixed to the original.
Does the Stay With Me AI video lip-sync the song?
No. In videosi's Stay With Me AI video the dancer and the arriving person move their mouths loosely as if singing along, but it does not lip-sync the lyrics word for word. The Akcent sound is already on the 15-second MP4, so you can post it as is.
Can I put celebrities in the parking lot dance AI video?
videosi does not accept photos of celebrities, public figures or children for the parking lot dance AI video, even though viral remakes with famous faces circulate on TikTok. Use photos of yourself and of friends who agreed to it. Label the clip as AI-generated when you post it.
Why doesn't my parking lot dance AI video look like me?
The videosi parking lot dance AI video drifts most in the 4-second close-up of the arriving person, because the camera is handheld and moving. Give each person one front-facing, well-lit photo with eyes open and no sunglasses; group shots and cropped chins confuse the model. A failed render returns its credits.
Can I make the parking lot dance with ChatGPT, Sora, Veo or Kling?
You can try, but a plain text prompt rarely reproduces the whip pan, the three-person structure and the timing, and image tools make no video at all. videosi feeds Seedance your photos and the original clip as a motion reference, so the 15-second cut stays the same and only the people change.
How long is the Stay With Me AI video, and does it have sound?
The videosi Stay With Me AI video is 15 seconds long, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 at the resolution you pick (720p on the Standard model), as an MP4 with no watermark and with the Akcent sound already on it. The original clip runs about 17 to 19 seconds, so the last selfie shot is cut.
What happens to my photos after I make a parking lot dance AI video?
videosi uses your photos only to render your parking lot dance AI video. Uploaded photos and finished videos are deleted automatically after 30 days, and your video is private unless you choose to share it.
Is videosi affiliated with Akcent or the people in the original video?
No. videosi is an independent AI video site. The parking lot dance AI video recreates the layout of a meme, uses no photos or footage of the original creators, and is not affiliated with Akcent, TikTok, CapCut or any person in the original clip.
