Where "AI" comes into it

From late September 2026 people began posting short clips that recreate the song's seaside setting with AI-generated visuals: a wooden pier, golden hour, a performer singing to the lens. The song supplies the sound and the AI supplies the picture. Because people search for "Raindance AI", it is easy to assume the track itself is synthetic. It is not.
