Somebody That I Used To Know AI generator or a CapCut template?
By hand you'd save the original clip, cut it at each shot, give each part and a photo to an AI video tool that takes a reference video, check every frame for a leftover cat, then line the parts back up and lay the sound back on in an editor. The CapCut templates going around only drop your photo onto the frame; they don't redo the singing.
Here you add the photos and press make. The cuts land where the original's do, the mouths move on the song's beats, and the song is already on the file.

The song in the Somebody That I Used To Know AI trend
"Somebody That I Used To Know" is by Belgian-Australian singer Gotye with New Zealand singer Kimbra, from his 2011 album Making Mirrors. It's a breakup told from both sides: he sings about being cut out of her life, then she answers with her side. That back-and-forth is why a duet with one singer turned to the other works so well as a meme.
Your download keeps the sound of the post the trend is built on. To use another sound, add it in TikTok or Instagram and turn the clip's audio down, or post the silent copy. We don't reprint the lyrics.
Somebody That I Used To Know AI FAQ
What is the Somebody That I Used To Know AI trend?
It's the viral clip of two AI-made cats singing Gotye and Kimbra's duet at a patchwork wall, remade with people swapped in. One singer faces the camera and gets the close-ups, the other sings back in profile.
How do I make the Somebody That I Used To Know AI video?
Tap the cat facing the camera and add your photo, add a friend on the right if you like, then press make. No app, no prompt and no editing: the video comes back in about 5 to 10 minutes with the song on it.
How much does it cost?
One video is the same price whether you add one photo or two: 1 video $6.99, 3 videos $12.99, 10 videos $39.99. One-time packs, no subscription, and credits don't expire.
Is there a free Somebody That I Used To Know AI generator?
Each video is a full AI render of a 16-second clip, so there's no free version here. You can watch real results on this page before you pay, and a video that can't be made gives its credits back.
Can I make a Somebody That I Used To Know AI video with one photo?
Yes. Put your photo on the cat facing the camera and the Siamese cat stays to sing back at you. The camera-facing seat always needs a photo; the right seat is optional.
Does the Somebody That I Used To Know AI video come with the song?
Yes, it comes with the sound of the original post, already in the file. You also get a silent copy in case an app mutes it.
How long does a Somebody That I Used To Know AI video take?
Usually 5 to 10 minutes, sometimes longer when it's busy. You can close the page: we email you when it's ready and it stays in your account.
What format is the video?
An MP4 of about 16 seconds in 4:3, the same shape as the original post, which TikTok, Reels and Shorts all play.
Will I be painted into the wall like in the music video?
No. The trend copies the cat post, not the body paint: you keep your face, hair and clothes from your photo, in front of the same patchwork wall.
Is this the same as the Somebody That I Used To Know CapCut template?
No. The CapCut templates put your photo over the frame. Here the whole clip is redone so you actually sing it, shot by shot.
What photo works best?
One person per photo, facing the camera, chest up, in good light, without sunglasses or a hat over the face. The camera-facing seat gets the close-ups, so use your sharpest photo there.
Can I put a celebrity or someone I don't know in it?
No. Only you or adults who said yes. No children, no celebrities, no strangers.
What if it doesn't work?
If the video can't be made, the credits go straight back to your account. AI gets a strong likeness, not a twin, so pick a clear photo.
Is this affiliated with Gotye or the original creator?
No. Somebody That I Used To Know AI is an independent tool, not affiliated with Gotye, Kimbra, their labels, TikTok or @bellvtrix.ai.
