What Is the I Love The Smiths AI Trend?

I Love The Smiths AI is a video trend that puts the two of you side by side in the elevator scene from (500) Days of Summer, with photo 1 on the left in the black over-ear headphones and photo 2 on the right turning to say "I love the Smiths". Couples, best friends and crushes post it on TikTok and Reels. People also call it the 500 Days of Summer elevator scene and I said I love the Smiths.

(500) Days of Summer is a 2009 romantic comedy-drama directed by Marc Webb and released by Fox Searchlight Pictures. In the elevator scene, two people who work in the same office ride the elevator side by side. One wears headphones playing "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths, from their 1986 album The Queen Is Dead. The other hears the music and says "I love the Smiths". It is the first time the two talk, and the line became a shorthand for connecting over shared taste in music.

From November 5, 2026, AI versions of the elevator scene with two other people in it spread on TikTok. By November 10, 2026, the most watched of them, posted on November 6, 2026, had about 6.6 million views and 1.8 million likes.

In the 14-second scene, the elevator appears in one continuous shot with dark wood panels and warm, soft light. Photo 1 on the left wears the black over-ear headphones and nods along, while photo 2 on the right glances over and smiles. Photo 2 turns to say "I love the Smiths". Photo 1 pulls the headphones down around the neck for "Sorry?", and photo 2 answers "I said I love the Smiths". The two look at each other with small smiles before photo 2 says "You have good taste in music", photo 1 asks "You like the Smiths?", and photo 2 says "Yeah", with the film's own dialogue laid under from the start.

Seadanse builds the elevator, the timing and the film's own dialogue into our I Love The Smiths AI. Add two photos, photo 1 for the headphones on the left and photo 2 for the line on the right. Each photo can be a person 18 or older, a cartoon or game character, or a pet such as a dog or a cat, each in the clothes from their own photo. You get one 14-second widescreen 16:9 video for TikTok and Reels in 720p or 1080p. One $9.90 credit pack makes one 720p video with no account.
