What is the Stateside trend?
"Stateside" is a song by the British singer PinkPantheress, and its version with the Swedish singer Zara Larsson came out in October 2025. It did not take off right away. Around January 2026, TikTok picked it up, a dance spread with it, and the song turned up in the background of countless videos, as The Huntley Voice noted in February 2026. Over the past year, US Google searches for "stateside pinkpantheress" averaged thousands a month, and "stateside dance" well over a thousand.
The dance matches the song's light, playful pop: a step forward with the arms high, brought down into a sharp full spin, then quick hip bounces, small arm isolations, hands framing the face, a point down at the feet, shoulder pops and hands on the head with the lyrics. It ends on a small wave and a smile.
At about 21 seconds, it is one of our longest dances, so it has room for all of that without rushing. In the AI Dance app this template was called "Midnight Move"; it is the same dance, named on the web after the song people search for.
The moves
A step forward with the arms raised overhead, brought down into a sharp full spin. Then quick hip bounces and arm isolations, gestures to the sides and hands framing the face, a point down at the feet, shoulder pops, hands to the head on the lyrics, and a small wave with a smile to end.

Best photo for Stateside
The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.
Works well
- Use a full-body photo, head to shoes. The spin and the point at the feet need the legs.
- Plain, fitted clothes look best in the full spin, when the AI imagines your back.
- Smile in the photo. The dance ends on a wave and a smile, close to the camera.
- Stand facing the camera with your arms a little away from your body.
- One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.
Gives weak results
- 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 "Stateside" sound by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson in TikTok or Reels.
- Start the clip on the step forward so the spin lands on the beat.
- The song is about love at a distance: tag a friend who lives in another country.
Add Stateside by PinkPantheress with Zara Larsson from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
