How to Make a BbY WOW AI Video (and Do the Dance Yourself)
A step-by-step guide to the BbY WOW trend: make the AI version from one photo, learn the moves, film it by hand, and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
Last updated: 2026-10-21
To make a BbY WOW AI video, you need one photo and a few minutes: upload it to the generator on BbY WOW AI, pick 6, 10 or 15 seconds, and download a vertical MP4 of the dance with the real KAROL G, Judeline & rusowsky song on it. This guide walks through that AI route step by step, then covers how to do the BbY WOW dance yourself, how to film it by hand with the TikTok sound or a CapCut template, how to post it, and what to do when something goes wrong.
What You Need Before You Start
For the AI version you need one photo and a Google account; for the by-hand version you need a phone and a bit of floor space.
- AI version: one photo (JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB) of you, a friend or your pet, a Google account to sign in, and credits: 6 for a 6-second video, 13 for 10 seconds, 20 for the full 15-second routine.
- By-hand version: a phone, something to prop it against on the floor, enough room to raise your arms, and TikTok, Instagram or CapCut for the sound.
How to Make a BbY WOW AI Video From a Photo
Upload a photo, choose a length, generate, then download or share. Here is each step:
- Open the generator. Go to the generator at the top of the homepage and sign in with Google, the only sign-in option.
- Upload the main dancer’s photo. Use a JPG, PNG or WebP of up to 10 MB. Big photos are shrunk in your browser before upload, so you don’t need to resize anything. The main dancer can be you or your pet.
- Add friends if you want. The Friend 2 and Friend 3 slots are optional. Leave them empty to dance solo, or add one or two photos to dance side by side, in sync, like the original clip.
- Pick a length. Choose 6 seconds (6 credits), 10 seconds (13 credits) or 15 seconds (20 credits). The 15-second version is the full routine.
- Confirm the consent box. Everyone in the photos must be you or someone who gave you permission, all 18 or older, and none can be a celebrity or public figure.
- Tap Make my video. The AI animates your photo doing the BbY WOW moves, then we add the real song. It usually takes a few minutes. You can leave the page: the video is saved to your account.
- Download or share. Download the MP4, or tap Share to TikTok and we copy a ready-made caption for you.
How long does a BbY WOW AI video take?
It usually takes a few minutes. If a render fails, the site retries it once for free; if it fails again, your credits go back to your account automatically, so you never pay for a video you didn’t get.
How much does a BbY WOW AI video cost?
A BbY WOW AI video costs 6, 13 or 20 credits depending on the length, and credits come in one-time packs:
- Single: $9.90 for 20 credits, enough for 1 full 15-second video.
- Trio: $19.90 for 60 credits, enough for 3 full 15-second videos.
- Crew: $29.90 for 100 credits, enough for 5 full 15-second videos.
Packs are paid once in USD through Stripe checkout, with no subscription, and the credits never expire. There are no free credits at sign-up, but daily check-ins are free: 1, 1, 1, 1, then 2 credits, which makes 6 credits after five check-ins, enough for one free 6-second video.
There are also a few discounts. If you run out of credits, you get 20% off a pack for 8 hours, once. Returning customers who have paid before and made a video get 30% off for 8 hours. People who sign up through a friend’s referral link get 20% off their first order for 24 hours. And when you share your own link, you earn +1 credit for each friend who signs up (new Google accounts only, up to 50 signup rewards) and +10 credits when that friend makes a first purchase. Referral credits never expire.
How to Add Friends to Your Video
To put your friends in it, upload two or three photos: one in the main slot and one in each friend slot. With two photos, the two of you dance side by side, in sync, like the two LOS MENOR3S friends in the original clip. With three photos, the three of you dance in a row, like KAROL G’s own version with them. Nobody takes turns: everyone does every move together for the whole clip.
- Use one photo per person, with each face clearly visible.
- Ask your friends first. Everyone shown has to agree and be 18 or older.
- Pick 15 seconds if you want the full routine together.
- You can mix people and pets, for example you, a friend and your dog.
How to Make Your Dog or Cat Do the Dance
To make your pet do the BbY WOW dance, upload a photo of your dog or cat in the main slot, exactly like a photo of a person. Each of the three photos can be a person or a pet, so two cats or three puppies work too. Pick a photo where the whole animal is clearly visible in good light, not curled up in a dark corner. The trend is full of AI pets doing the hands-on-head move, like the puppies in the clips on this page.
Photo Tips for a Better Likeness
- Good light on the face. A clear, well-lit photo works best; dark or backlit shots give the model less to work with.
- Face visible, half-body or full-body. A shot from the waist up or a full-body photo works better than a tight close-up, because the dance uses your arms and hips.
- Wear what you want to be seen in. Your photo is the only reference the model has for how you look.
- One person per photo. Friends go in their own slots, so it’s clear who is dancing.
- No screenshots with another app’s watermark. The model’s content check rejects them, along with celebrity faces and flags or political images.
- Use your own photos. You, a friend who said yes, or your pet.
How to Do the BbY WOW Dance Yourself
To do the BbY WOW dance, bounce loosely in front of a low phone, then put both hands on top of your head when the phrase changes, lean toward the camera and bounce back. LOS MENOR3S improvised it, so there’s no official choreography; these are the moves most versions copy:
- Groove. Face the phone. Keep your knees soft and bounce on every beat, sway your weight from side to side, keep your shoulders loose and move your open hands at chest height, as if you’re talking.
- Hands on your head. On the phrase change, put both hands up on top of or behind your head, elbows out wide, and push your chest and hips forward. This is the move everyone recognizes.
- Lean in. Lean toward the camera, laugh, and bounce back up while one hand flicks up beside your face.
- KAROL G’s ending (optional). Sink into a low, wide stance with your knees bent out and your hands loose at your waist, wrists drooping, and bounce a little. Put your hands on your head again as your hips drop, then point one arm straight up.
After that, do your own thing. The original clip is only about 7 seconds and loops, and most fan videos are 6 to 15 seconds long, so you only need a short loop.
How to set up your phone like the original
- Stand the phone upright in vertical mode, propped low on the floor against a shoe, a bag or a wall, pointing up at you.
- Pick a plain background. The original was filmed in a grey backstage room, and a bare wall gives the same feel.
- Step back until your raised hands and elbows stay inside the frame.
How to learn the BbY WOW dance faster
- Watch a slowed, mirrored tutorial, such as this one on TikTok, so you can copy it like a mirror.
- Practice only the first loop of about 7 seconds until the hands-on-head pose lands on the phrase change.
- Rehearse with the actual sound, not in silence, so the bounce matches the beat.
How to Make a BbY WOW Video by Hand (TikTok Sound or CapCut)
To make a BbY WOW video by hand, learn the moves, prop your phone low on the floor, film yourself and add the trend sound. There are three common ways:
- With the TikTok sound. Open the trend sound “sonido original – ElRolitas” (tap the sound name under any BbY WOW video, or open the sound page) and tap Use this sound. Prop the phone, record, and post. This is the 48-second stretch of the song that about 2.2 million TikTok videos use.
- On Instagram Reels. Record your clip, then search “BbY WOW” in the Reels audio library and add it.
- With a CapCut template. CapCut has BbY WOW templates that people use for fan edits: you pick a template and drop in your own clips or photos.
Filming it yourself costs nothing but practice, and a CapCut template depends on the clips you already have. The AI version needs only a photo and credits, works for pets and friends who aren’t around, and comes with the real song already on it.
How to Post It on TikTok, Reels and Shorts
Post it as a vertical 9:16 video with the song, add #bbywow #karolg #bbywowtrend, and label it as AI-generated if it is. Step by step:
- Share or upload. On BbY WOW AI, tap Share to TikTok: we copy a caption to your clipboard and hand the video to TikTok. If your phone doesn’t offer that, download the MP4 and upload it in the TikTok app.
- Keep the audio. The video already has the real song on it, so posting it with its own audio is the simplest option. If you also add the trend sound in TikTok’s editor, turn the original audio down so the song doesn’t play twice, and check the moves still land on the beat.
- Write the caption. Paste the copied caption or write your own. Use the hashtags #bbywow, #karolg and #bbywowtrend, and credit the dance to LOS MENOR3S.
- Turn on the AI label. Before posting, switch on TikTok’s AI-generated content label. Instagram and YouTube have their own AI disclosure options too; use them.
- Post to Reels or Shorts. The same MP4 works on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts because it’s already vertical 9:16.
- Only tag people who agreed. If friends are in the video, make sure they’re happy for it to go public.
Troubleshooting: Why Did My Video Fail or Look Off?
Most problems have a simple fix, and failed renders never cost you credits.
- “The AI model turned these photos down.” The model’s content check rejects celebrity and public-figure faces, screenshots with another app’s watermark, and flags or political images. Your credits are back; try again with your own photo.
- It ran out of time. At busy moments a render can hit the time limit. Your credits are back; try the same photo again a little later, or choose a shorter length.
- It doesn’t look much like me. Use a sharper, brighter photo with your face visible, half-body or full-body, and no heavy filters. AI results vary, so a likeness can’t be guaranteed.
- The background isn’t the grey backstage room. The model sometimes keeps the background of your photo instead. That’s normal, and the moves and the song are the same either way.
- The upload failed. Check that the file is a JPG, PNG or WebP and under 10 MB, then try again.
- I don’t have enough credits. Check in daily for free credits, or pick a pack. If you run out, a 20% discount appears for 8 hours, once.

Questions People Ask Before Making One
Is the BbY WOW AI video free?
You can make one for free with daily check-ins: five check-ins give 6 credits, enough for a 6-second video. There are no free credits at sign-up, and the smallest pack is $9.90 for 20 credits, one full 15-second video.
Does my video have the real song?
Yes. Every video comes with KAROL G, Judeline & rusowsky’s “BbY WOW”, the same stretch of the studio track the TikTok trend sound uses. We add it on our server after the dance is rendered, so it’s always the real song.
Does the AI copy the original LOS MENOR3S clip?
No. The AI video model animates your photo from a written description of the routine. It doesn’t copy the original clip frame by frame and doesn’t paste your face into LOS MENOR3S’ video.
Is “dime dime baby AI” the same thing?
Yes, if you mean the BbY WOW trend. “Dime dime baby” is a line from the part of the song the TikTok sound uses, so some people call the AI versions “dime dime baby AI”.
Can I use my BbY WOW video for ads or a brand?
No. The song and the dance belong to their rights holders, so the clip you make here is for personal, non-commercial social posts only.
Can kids be in the video?
No. Everyone in the photos must be 18 or older, and you need permission from anyone who isn’t you. Pets are welcome.
What format is the video?
It’s a vertical 9:16 MP4 in 720p, 6, 10 or 15 seconds long, with the song on it. It’s saved in your account history so you can download it again later.
