## What is the Not Cute Anymore trend?

"NOT CUTE ANYMORE" is a single by the K-pop group ILLIT, released on November 24, 2025. It is a relaxed pop song with a reggae rhythm, and its choreography, nicknamed the "nod-nod dance", is built on loose head nods and one sharp moment: the members smile sweetly, then turn serious right on the line "I'm not cute anymore". The song climbed fast in Korea, reaching No. 2 on YouTube Korea's trending music chart four days after release, according to Sports Kyunghyang.

That smile-to-serious switch is made for babies. A chubby toddler declaring they are not cute anymore, with a straight face and a finger on the chin, makes the point of the song better than any grown-up can. It has been one of the baby templates on AI Dance since the app launched in January 2026.

The routine is slow and simple, with no jumps or spins, so it turns out well on most clear photos, including cats, who already have the serious face down.

### The moves

Feet together, one hand up by the face and a big smile. Then a wide step and a serious pose: one arm across the body and a finger resting on the lips or chin. The two poses repeat, and the clip ends with both hands raised a little. Slow, simple and very cute.

## How to make the Not Cute Anymore video

1. **Add your photo.** Upload one clear photo of a baby or a cat, facing the camera, as much of the body in the frame as you can.
2. **Tap Make my video.** The Not Cute Anymore dance costs 1 credit. The AI copies the moves onto your photo while you wait, about a few minutes.
3. **Download and post.** You get a 10 second 9:16 MP4. Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts and add the sound inside the app.

## Best photo for Not Cute Anymore

- Use a photo where your baby stands or sits on their own, with the whole body in view.
- Avoid photos where an adult holds the baby: the AI animates the biggest person in the photo, which would be the adult.
- Pick a sharp photo with the face toward the camera and both eyes visible.
- Soft daylight and a plain background give the cleanest result.
- The face carries this dance. Pick a photo where the face is sharp and not covered by a hat or a pacifier.

Avoid:

- Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge
- Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow
- Blurry or very dark photos
- Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo

## Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts

- Your video comes without music. Add the "NOT CUTE ANYMORE" sound by ILLIT in TikTok or Reels.
- Caption idea: "I'm not cute anymore (I am)". The contradiction is the joke.
- Try a cat version too. A cat giving the serious face on cue works surprisingly well.

Caption idea: Not cute anymore. Very serious now.
