He takes the headphones off, "Sorry?", and she says it again: "I said I love the Smiths". The line has been a TikTok sound for years, and real couples have acted the moment out to it since 2023.

In November 2026 it turned into an AI trend: people put two other faces into the same elevator moment with AI video apps and CapCut templates, usually famous pairs. This I Love The Smiths AI video generator makes it with your own photos: you wear the headphones, your partner, crush or best friend says the line, and you get the head turn, the lines with matching lips and the long look, as an 11-second 16:9 video in 1080p.

The I Love The Smiths scene, second by second

We timed the AI version by @svkqg8 and transcribed its sound line by line. It is one locked-off close shot of the two riders, no cuts, with five short lines.

  • 0 to 0.9 s: the one with headphones stares ahead. The other looks over and says "I love the Smiths"; with the headphones on, it does not land.
  • 0.9 to 2.8 s: a hand goes to the headphones, the head turns, a quick "Sorry?", and the headphones come down around the neck.
  • 2.9 to 4 s: "I said I love the Smiths", with a small knowing smile.
  • 4 to 8.6 s: no words. They hold the look, the smile grows, and one of them glances down.
  • 8.7 to 10.4 s: "You've... you've got good taste in music."
  • 10.5 to 11 s: the one with headphones, surprised: "You like the Smiths?"

I Love The Smiths AI with one or two photos

Both ways give the same 11-second video in the same elevator. Photo 1 always wears the headphones.

  • You and your partner or crush (2 photos): the classic version. Photo 2 says the line.
  • Just you (1 photo): an AI-made stranger, not a real person, says "I love the Smiths" to you.
  • Swap the parts: put the other person first if you want to be the one who says it.

How close this I Love The Smiths AI video is to the trend

The motion comes from the AI version of the scene, turned into a depth video so the video model copies every glance, the headphones coming off and the timing, but none of the people in it. The elevator is the same dim metal elevator with the two of you put into it.

  • Same as the trend: the elevator, the close two-shot, the headphones, the five lines of the trend sound and their timing.
  • Changed on purpose: the people are you, in the clothes from your photos.
  • Not included: the actors from the film, the famous faces from other AI versions, and any footage from the film itself.

How to do the I Love The Smiths AI: by hand or in one click

The manual way

  1. Find an elevator, a pair of big headphones and someone to film you, and act it out to the trend sound.
  2. Or use an AI video app or a CapCut template and recreate the scene with two photos.

The one-click way

Here it is one click: upload your photo (and your partner's if you like), press Make, and the template films the elevator scene with the two of you, the lines and the sound already in it. You get an 11-second 16:9 MP4 in 1080p without a watermark, and a failed render gives its credits back.

How to make the I Love The Smiths AI video

  1. Pick your photos

    You need 1-2 photos. Photo 1 (the one with headphones) (photo 1): stands on the left with big black headphones on, pulls them down with a "Sorry?", and at the end asks "You like the Smiths?". One person. Photo 2 (the one who says it, optional) (photo 2): stands on the right, says "I love the Smiths" twice, then "You've got good taste in music". Leave it empty and an AI-made stranger says it to you. Use one person per photo with the face clearly visible.

  2. Upload and confirm

    Drop the photos into the maker on this page and confirm you have permission. Photos go straight to private storage and are deleted after 30 days.

  3. Sound is included

    There is no sound to pick: your video comes with its own sound. Add the trend sound inside TikTok when you post, so your post links to the trend.

  4. Wait for the render

    The I Love The Smiths AI video usually takes about 5–10 minutes. You can start another one or close the tab; it waits in Your videos.

  5. Download and post

    Download the 11-second MP4 without a watermark and post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Label it as AI-generated where the app asks.

Photo tips for I Love The Smiths

  • Use one sharp photo per person, with only that person in it and the face clearly visible. Chest up is enough; it is a close shot.
  • You keep the clothes from your photo, so pick one with an outfit you like.
  • Photo 1 gets the headphones. If you wear glasses in the photo, you wear them in the video.

Who to cast

  • You and your partner for an anniversary post
  • You and your crush, as a hint
  • Two best friends as a joke
  • You and an AI stranger
