Steps to create the ABCDEFG I Need Money video with Smew AI

The entire process happens in your browser. No editing software needed, no prompts to compose, no watermark added.

  1. Upload your photo

    Click "Create your own" and upload a picture of your pet. Capture one with your camera or select from your collection.

  2. Click Generate

    The button displays the cost. Seedance 2.5 creates the ABCDEFG I Need Money scene directly from your image, producing a 10 second video with original audio. No prompt writing required.

  3. Save or share

    Your clip appears within minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Save it locally, share from your device, or access it later in your Library.

What kind of photo should you use?

  • Pet: a single image of your cat, dog or other pet, well-lit and focused, with the face looking toward the lens and head plus front paws visible. Pets sitting upright produce the best results.
  • You: a single clear shot showing you from chest to head, looking at the camera, without sunglasses. Your outfit will match what appears in your photo.
  • Include only one pet or one person. Use your own photo, your own pet, or an image of an adult who gave permission.
  • A neutral pose is perfectly fine: the software will add the raised eyebrows, serious expression and finger gesture.

Origin story of the ABCDEFG I Need Money trend

The phrase originated with Looze Cannon, a Michael Jackson impersonator popular on TikTok LIVE battles. During a freestyle LIVE battle he rapped "It go A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I need M-O-N-E-Y on me", and recordings of that performance circulated on 10 October 2026: @bri_montana__ reposted it to 1.5 million views and @_2boldbeauty reached 674,600. That same day @1adavo shared an early lip-sync version (328,000 views), and on 11 October a lyric video by @dejavu.lyrx hit 2.7 million. On 12 October @yoocosmo's repost (730,000 views) dubbed it the rhyming letters freestyle.

By mid-October the audio was viral. Lip-sync videos filmed in vehicles and homes crossed 800,000 views, creator Nick Darnell's version from 16 October surpassed 2 million, and many described the phrase as their new vocal stim. By 19 October the three main audio tracks appeared in roughly 7,200, 6,400 and 10,300 videos. Starting 16 and 17 October, CapCut AI templates turned the phrase into AI content, and #abcdefgineedmoney launched on 18 October. Looze Cannon dropped the complete song, "Big Michael Michael", on 19 October.

A funny phone video in one continuous shot with no cuts: vertical 9:16, photorealistic, filmed handheld at eye level about one meter away, so the face stays large and sharp. The singer is the pet in [Image 1], in every frame: the same species and breed, face, eyes, ears, muzzle, fur colors, fur length and markings as in [Image 1], with the natural body volume and proportions of that animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. Its owner recognizes it at once. It sits upright on the sofa facing the camera, seen from the chest up with both front paws in view. No clothes on the pet. Only its mouth and face move like a singer; it keeps its own animal face, teeth and tongue. The place: a cozy living room in soft evening lamp light, a cream sofa with a few cushions, a plain wall and a houseplant out of focus behind. The take, second by second: 0-1 s: the pet looks straight into the lens with the eyebrows up, like a singer about to start. 1-5 s: the pet sings the letters on a bouncy beat, one letter per beat, the mouth opening on each one, a small head bob and the eyebrows going up on every letter: "A... B... C... D... E... F... G..." 5-6 s: the pet stops dead. Silence. A blank, dead-serious stare into the lens. 6-9 s: the pet leans in close to the lens with a straight face and says slowly, spelling it out: "I need M... O... N... E... Y... on me." While spelling it, it lifts one front paw next to its face and rubs the toes together, the "pay me" money gesture. 9-10 s: the pet holds the deadpan stare, one eyebrow raised, and keeps the gesture going. The mouth moves in sync with every letter and every word. Audio: one original, deadpan sung voice with a playful rhythm, only these English words, a soft finger-snap beat under the letters and no beat during the stop. It is a new voice, not an impression of any singer or famous person. Exactly one animal and no people. No human hands, no human mouth, no human body parts on the pet, one head, one tail. No cash or bills in the frame. No hat, no sunglasses, no glove, no costume. No text, no captions, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.

A funny selfie-style phone video in one continuous shot with no cuts: vertical 9:16, photorealistic, filmed on the front camera held at arm's length, the face and shoulders large in the frame. The singer is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles) and the clothes from [Image 1], so their friends recognize them at once. The face stays the same from the first frame to the last, also when it comes close to the lens. Never morph. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the singer is that animal sitting upright, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The place: a cozy living room in soft evening lamp light, a cream sofa with a few cushions, a plain wall and a houseplant out of focus behind. The take, second by second: 0-1 s: the person looks straight into the lens with the eyebrows up, like a singer about to start. 1-5 s: the person sings the letters on a bouncy beat, one letter per beat, the mouth opening on each one, a small head bob and the eyebrows going up on every letter: "A... B... C... D... E... F... G..." 5-6 s: the person stops dead. Silence. A blank, dead-serious stare into the lens. 6-9 s: the person leans in close to the lens with a straight face and says slowly, spelling it out: "I need M... O... N... E... Y... on me." While spelling it, one hand comes up next to the face and the thumb rubs the fingertips, the money gesture. 9-10 s: the person holds the deadpan stare, one eyebrow raised, and keeps the gesture going. The mouth moves in sync with every letter and every word. Audio: one original, deadpan sung voice with a playful rhythm, only these English words, a soft finger-snap beat under the letters and no beat during the stop. It is a new voice, not an impression of any singer or famous person. Exactly one person, no other people. Five fingers on each hand. No cash or bills in the frame. No hat, no sunglasses, no glove and no costume unless [Image 1] shows them. No text, no captions, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.
