What is the baby lip sync trend?
The baby lip sync trend, also searched as the baby Justin Bieber trend, is a group video shot in one take. Someone holds a phone and walks it from person to person, and each one lip-syncs a line of “Baby” straight to the camera before it moves on.
The fun is in who shows up. In the biggest baby lip sync meme so far, actors in prison costumes take turns, then a guard with a baton joins in and the whole yard ends up dancing.
Baby lip sync TikTok videos
The most-played video we found with the sound, and an earlier one from a baseball team.
The original baby lip sync video
We couldn’t confirm who did it first. The sound most posts use was uploaded on March 18, 2026, and by July teams and friend groups were already passing the phone around, like the Banana Ball players above.
The video that made it big is @efuadell’s from September 29, 2026. It runs 44 seconds, has 4.6 million views and more than 500,000 likes, and copies on the same sound followed through October.
What song is the baby lip sync trend?
It’s “Baby” by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris, the 2010 hit. On TikTok, most baby lip sync videos use an “original sound” uploaded by EverydayWithAshley, which plays about 45 seconds of the song and is used in more than 15,000 videos.
Tap the sound on any post above to use the same one. The lyrics are on the song’s page in your streaming app.
How to make a baby lip sync video
1. Line everyone up
Pick an order and give each person one line of the song, so the camera never stops for long.
2. Film one long take
Hold the phone vertically and walk it from face to face as each person sings their line to the lens.
3. Save the surprise
End on the person nobody expects, like a boss or a coach, then let the whole group join in.
Play the song out loud while you film so everyone stays on the beat, then swap in the TikTok sound when you post so your video is linked to the trend.
Baby lip sync AI: making it from photos
What AI can do
Video tools that accept reference images, such as Seedance or Kling, can stage a similar one-take group clip from one photo per person. Matching everyone’s mouth to a specific song is harder, so expect to try a few times.
Whose photos to use
Only use photos of yourself and adults who agreed to be in the video. Don’t upload pictures of children or celebrities, and label the result as AI when you post it.
Baby lip sync AI prompt
Add one photo per person as reference images, then start from this prompt. Add the song yourself afterwards. We wrote it from the videos above and haven’t tested it, so adjust it for your tool.
Vertical 9:16, about 15 seconds, one handheld phone camera in a single continuous take, no cuts and no captions. The camera moves through a crowded room of adults and stops on one face at a time; each person lip-syncs to the camera with big, playful expressions, pointing and making heart hands, then the camera moves on. At the end the camera lands on the person in the last image, who joins in, and the whole group crowds into the frame laughing. Keep each person’s face, hair and outfit the same throughout. No text and no sound.
