What is the Mi Chico trend?

"Mi Chico" started as a club track by the Romanian producer DJ Goja that went viral on TikTok before it was even on streaming. After it took off, Jason Derulo congratulated Goja on Instagram, and the two reworked the song with the 19-year-old Brazilian singer Melody. The new version came out on June 26, 2026 with a music video shot in Paris, and Billboard Brasil reported that the audio had passed 275,000 TikTok creations and more than 200 million views, driven by fan dance challenges.

The dance kept going all summer and into the autumn. Covers passed 2.5 million views in July, a concert clip passed 3.5 million in September, and new solo covers were still passing 100,000 views in October 2026. #michico has close to a billion views.

The clip on this page is by @manoletyet, posted on June 25, 2026: a solo take of the hook in an empty gym, filmed in one shot with the official sound. On AI Dance, the template copies the moves onto your own photo: your face, clothes and background stay, and your body follows the dance beat by beat.

Best photo for Mi Chico

The photo decides most of the result. These tips are for this dance.

Works well

Use a full-body photo, standing, facing the camera, with your feet in the frame.
Keep your arms away from your body a little, so the AI can see your hands for the chest rolls.
Loose trousers and a fitted top look closest to the original clip.
A plain room or an empty floor with even light works best.
One person per photo. The AI animates the biggest person in the frame.

Gives weak results

Group photos, or a second person cut off at the edge
Faces turned away, covered or in deep shadow
Blurry or very dark photos
Heavy filters, stickers or text on the photo

Post it on TikTok, Reels or Shorts

Your video comes with the dance's music. To use the official sound or another one, turn the original sound down when you post. Add "Mi Chico" by DJ Goja, Jason Derulo and Melody in TikTok or Reels.
Start the video on "dance all night, mi chico", where the routine begins.
Use the trend tags people search for: #michico, #michicodance and #michicochallenge.
Name the dance in your caption, so people searching for it find your video.

Add Mi Chico by DJ Goja, Jason Derulo and Melody from the sound library of the app you post to, so your video uses the official track.
