What is the Turn the Lights Off AI trend?
Turn the Lights Off AI drops you into the heart of a packed nightclub, lost in the music. It opens tight on your face: eyes closed, chin up, a small blissful smile, red and blue light sliding across you. Then your hands rise to your chest, both arms go straight up, and you sway with the whole room as the camera eases back into the crowd and disco-ball light rains down.
The club sets the mood: a long bar glowing red neon, vines and warm bulbs across the ceiling, two mirror balls and haze cut by blue and magenta beams. Your own face and the outfit in your photo stay, and yours is the only sharp face in the room. It works with your cat or dog too. Your pet stands up on its hind legs down on the dance floor, eyes shut, front paws raised high, with dancers’ arms all around it.
The clip runs 10 seconds in a vertical frame for TikTok and Reels. There’s no music in it, so pick the Turn the Lights Off trend sound as you post and set the drop to land as the arms go up. Post it on a Friday night, after a long week, or as the clip that says you’re finally on holiday.

Where Turn the Lights Off AI started
The trend starts from a club scene in Apple TV’s Your Friends & Neighbors, where Jon Hamm dances to Kato and Jon Nørgaard’s “Turn the Lights Off”. A Russian TikToker made it a meme in October 2025, and it spread on English-language TikTok in November and December, sending the song to the top of Spotify’s Viral chart. AI versions swap other people and pets into Hamm’s place.
Since October 2025

Turn the Lights Off AI questions
The short answers. Ask a person or visit the help center.
Does it work with my pet?
Yes. Use a sharp shot of your cat or dog. It stands up on its hind legs in the crowd, eyes closed and front paws raised, framed from the shoulders up.
Is the song in the video?
No. There’s no music in the clip. When you post, pick the Turn the Lights Off trend sound in the TikTok or Reels editor.
Will I end up in a suit or blazer?
No. Your photo’s outfit stays on from start to finish, so pick one where you like your outfit.
Is Turn the Lights Off AI free?
Not free, but you can try Reelfie first: every new account gets one photo trend free, no card needed. Turn the Lights Off AI itself starts at $9.90 for a credit pack, with no watermark once you buy, and a run that fails costs nothing.
How much does Turn the Lights Off AI cost?
100 credits in HD (720p), 50 in standard (480p). A pack from $9.90 makes 1 in HD or 3 in standard, and a plan from $16.58/mo, billed yearly, makes 4 in HD a month. The Make button shows the total before it runs, and a run that fails gives the credits back.
What app makes the Turn the Lights Off AI video?
Reelfie (reelfie.app) makes it from one photo, with no prompt to write: the trend’s look is built in. It costs 100 credits, shown before it runs, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is Reelfie the official Turn the Lights Off AI app?
No. Turn the Lights Off AI is a trend, and no app owns it. Reelfie (reelfie.app) is independent, not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut or the trend’s creators; it makes your own version from your photo.
Can I make Turn the Lights Off AI with ChatGPT, Gemini or CapCut?
Partly. ChatGPT and Gemini can write a prompt, and AI video tools, CapCut’s included, can turn a photo into a clip from it, usually after a few tries and with a watermark on free tiers. They don’t know this trend’s scene or timing. Here both are built in, so one photo is all it takes.
How long does it take?
Most videos are ready in 3 to 5 minutes. You can close the page; the video keeps going and waits for you in Assets.
Can I make it with my cat or dog?
Yes. Choose Your pet and upload a photo where your pet’s face is clear and facing the camera.
Why does the face not look like me?
Usually the photo: side angle, low light or something covering the face. Try a clear front photo. If one doesn’t come out, you are not charged.
Can I post it on TikTok?
Yes. The video is vertical with the trend sound, and after your first purchase it has no watermark. Pick the trend’s sound when you post and your video also shows on that sound’s page.
Who can see my video?
Only you. It stays private in Assets until you create a share link.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are deleted 7 days after upload and never used to train AI.
One selfie.
You in Turn the Lights Off AI.
