The trend
What is the Turn the Lights Off trend?
The Turn the Lights Off trend comes from a nightclub scene in the Apple TV series Your Friends & Neighbors. After a rough night, Jon Hamm's character ends up on a crowded dance floor, closes his eyes and dances alone to "Turn the Lights Off" by Kato and Jon Nørgaard, completely gone in the music. The dreamy, slightly detached bliss on his face is what made the clip stick.
Russian-speaking creators started using the scene in October 2025 as shorthand for dancing through the pain. By December it had crossed into English-language TikTok and Reels, and the 15-year-old song climbed back onto the viral charts. Today the clip celebrates tiny wins: the USB going in on the first try, the Tupperware lid that actually fits, the dog that likes nobody but you.
Turn the Lights Off AI takes the trend one step further. Instead of stitching your clip next to the original, you become the person on the dance floor. The club, the lights, the crowd and the eyes-closed groove stay; the face is yours.

Photo tips
Photo tips for a better Turn the Lights Off AI video
The scene is dark and moody, and the meme lives on one face lost in the music. Give the model a sharp, well-lit face and it can keep you recognizable even under club lights.
- Front-facing, face fully visible, no sunglasses or masks.
- One person only, no group shots or cropped heads.
- Well-lit photos work best; the generator adds the club darkness itself.
- Waist-up or full-body photos leave room for the dance.
- A calm, relaxed expression fits the eyes-closed mood.
