What is the Talk Dirty dance trend?
Make my own versionThe Talk Dirty dance trend is a short vertical video of a concert dance break: a lead dancer front and centre on an arena stage, a crew of backup dancers in yellow and black jackets behind, a spotlight from above and flame jets shooting up from the edge of the stage. In the AI version that spread on TikTok in October 2026, the lead dancer is someone else: the person in an uploaded photo. The song is "Talk Dirty" by Jason Derulo featuring 2 Chainz.

The song behind the Talk Dirty dance trend
The sound is "Talk Dirty", Jason Derulo's 2013 single featuring 2 Chainz. The clip people pass around is a phone video of a live dance break to it, filmed from the crowd. It is not the official music video.
The song had a viral dance moment before: in 2014, a clip of One Direction dancing to it spread online and fans started filming their own. The 2026 trend is different. Nobody has to learn the moves: the concert clip stays the same and only the lead dancer changes.
