For anyone who wants their own face in the Old Town Road convertible scene: upload one photo (a second for the driver) and get a 15-second 16:9 MP4 with the song and no watermark. A new account gets 3 free sign-up credits, short of the cheapest video (145 credits (about $5.39)). It runs in a phone browser.
How the Old Town Road AI video works
The Old Town Road AI video takes four steps, with no editing app and no prompt to write: add the singer’s photo, choose who drives, pick a model, then download the 16:9 MP4 with the song on it. The tool sits at the top of this page and works the same in a phone browser.
1Add the singer’s photo
Photo 1 is the one who sings the chorus at the candy shop: one adult, face to the camera, sharp and well lit, head to waist if you have it. JPG, PNG or WebP from your phone is fine.
2Choose who drives
Keep “An AI stranger”, or pick “A friend” and add photo 2: that person sits in the red convertible and holds out the money bag. The price is the same either way.
3Pick a model and generate
Seedance 2.5 at 480p is the default (146 credits); MiniMax H3 at 768p costs 145 and Seedance 2.5 at 720p 328. The price shows on the button before anything is charged, and the video keeps rendering if you close the page.
4Download and post
The MP4 already carries the song, so you can post to TikTok, Reels or Shorts as it is. It is 16:9 like the music video; a vertical app shows it with bars above and below.
Old Town Road convertible video examples
Three clips of the same four shots, each about 15 seconds: two AI takes made from two photos, one driving and one singing, and the original 2019 music video scene the template follows, so you can see what the model is asked to copy. All play with the song; tap a clip to hear it.
Two photos: red hair at the wheel, white shirt at the candy shop
A red-haired woman holds the money bag out of the red convertible, a man in a white shirt sings in front of a candy-jar mural, then both ride off seen from above. 14.9 s, 16:9, with the song.

Original: the 2019 music video scene (not an AI video)

The Old Town Road convertible scene, shot by shot
The Old Town Road convertible scene is 15 seconds in four shots: a driver holds a money bag out of a red convertible, the singer sings the chorus in front of a candy shop, a close-up of the singer, then an overhead shot of both riding off. The table is the timeline the video model is asked to follow; each run is a new take.
| Seconds | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–3 s | Low angle along the side of a red convertible with the top down: the driver leans over from the seat and holds a canvas money bag with a dollar sign out over the door. |
| 3–7.5 s | The singer stands in front of a colourful candy and ice cream shop and sings the chorus into the lens, hands moving with the words. |
| 7.5–11.6 s | Close-up of the singer, still singing to the lens, the shop blurred behind. |
| 11.6–15 s | Straight down from above: both sit in the open convertible, the singer on the left with the money bag, the driver on the right; the car pulls away and leaves the empty road. |
If you remember the clip but not its name, it is the one where somebody holds a bag with a dollar sign out of a red sports car and the other sings outside an ice cream shop; some apps call it the Old Town Duo Clip.
Who comes from which photo
Photo 1 is always the singer; the driver in the red convertible is an AI stranger unless you add photo 2. The prompt asks the model to take each face, hair and clothes from its own photo and never to mix the two, while the car, the shop, the camera moves and the song stay. Results vary with the model and the photos.
| Part | Comes from your photos | Stays from the template |
|---|---|---|
| Photo 1 · The singer | Face, hair, skin tone, build and clothes | Sings the chorus at the candy shop in the medium shot and the close-up, then rides on the left with the money bag |
| Photo 2 · The driver (optional) | Face, hair and clothes of the one in the red convertible | Without photo 2 the prompt asks for a made-up adult stranger at the wheel |
| Car, shop and song | Nothing from your photos | The red convertible, the money bag, the candy shop, the overhead drive-off and the song |
For a couple or two friends: whoever should sing goes in photo 1, whoever drives in photo 2. Swap the photos to swap the roles; the roles themselves do not change. Your own clothes are used, so wear a cowboy hat in the photo if you want one in the video.
What is Old Town Road about?
Old Town Road is a boast dressed as a cowboy song. Lil Nas X takes his horse to the old town road and rides “till I can’t no more”, mixing country images (horses in the back, a tractor, Wrangler jeans) with rap flexes like a Porsche and a Maserati. The real meaning sits in the chorus line “can’t nobody tell me nothing”: nobody gets to say who belongs where.
That is the hidden meaning many listeners read into it: a young Black rapper from the Atlanta area claiming a cowboy song as his own, and the fight over whether it counted as country (next section). The lyrics themselves are on the song’s streaming and lyrics pages; this page does not reprint them.
Is Old Town Road a country song or rap?
Old Town Road is both: a country rap song, often called country trap. The beat is a trap beat built on a banjo loop sampled from Nine Inch Nails’ “34 Ghosts IV”, and Lil Nas X sings about horses and tractors over it. In March 2019 Billboard removed it from its Hot Country Songs chart, saying it lacked enough elements of today’s country music.
The answer was the remix with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, released on 5 April 2019. The song then spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won two Grammy Awards in 2020, including Best Music Video for the video this page recreates.
Which Old Town Road music video is this, and when did the song come out?
The convertible scene comes from the official Old Town Road (Remix) music video with Billy Ray Cyrus, directed by Calmatic and released on 17 May 2019. The video starts in 1889 and jumps to the present day, where the red convertible, the money bag and the candy shop appear. The original song came out on 3 December 2018.
Searches for an Old Town Road original from 1965 lead to vintage-style parody covers made after the hit; there is no 1960s recording. The original song is Lil Nas X’s 2018 solo version, and the music video scene this template follows is from the 2019 remix.
Sound on the Old Town Road AI video
The Old Town Road AI video on RapTwins comes with the song as heard in that part of the music video, the same audio the examples on this page carry, laid under the picture after the video is made, from the first frame. The voices are the recording’s, Lil Nas X singing the chorus, not yours: the video does not clone or change anyone’s voice.
The video model is asked for a silent clip and the sound is added afterwards, so how closely the singer’s mouth matches the words varies from run to run. If you would rather post with TikTok’s own Old Town Road sound, add it in the app and set the original sound’s volume to zero.
RapTwins has no connection to Lil Nas X, Billy Ray Cyrus or the music video’s makers, and making a video gives you no right to the music.

What the Old Town Road AI video can’t do
The Old Town Road AI video makes one fixed scene: the red convertible, the candy shop and the overhead drive-off, to the song. It does not sing your own words, change the place, the length or the frame, take a group, or make real celebrities, and it cannot promise the same face in every frame.
Sing your own lyrics or voice
The sound is the song’s recording. To rap your own bars in your own scene, use the rap generator instead.
Change the scene, the length or the frame
The car, the shop, the four shots, 15 seconds and the 16:9 frame are fixed; a photo of your own car is not used.
Guarantee the same face up close
The prompt asks the model to keep your face from the medium shot to the close-up and the overhead shot; results vary with the model and the photo, and a trace of the original performers can show through. A sharp, front-facing photo in even light gives the model the most to work with.
Make real celebrities
Use your own photo or adults who said yes. Photos of celebrities or strangers are not allowed, and the video model refuses some photos; those videos are refunded.
Where the Old Town Road AI trend came from
Old Town Road has had two lives as a trend. In 2019 the song spread through the TikTok Yeehaw Challenge, where people switched into cowboy clothes on the beat drop. In 2026 the music video itself came back: AI video apps began offering its red convertible scene as a two-photo template, often under the name Old Town Duo Clip.
The appeal is the casting: one friend gets Billy Ray Cyrus’s part behind the wheel with the money bag, the other gets Lil Nas X’s chorus at the candy shop, and the overhead shot puts both in the car together.
Old Town Road AI video FAQ
Is this the Yeehaw Challenge cowboy transformation?
No. The Yeehaw Challenge is the 2019 outfit-change trend set to the song; this video recreates the red convertible scene from the official music video, with your face on the singer and, if you add a second photo, on the driver.
Do I need an account to make it?
Yes: you sign in to generate and download, so the video and its credits are tied to your account. If you are not signed in yet, the sign-in box opens when you press Generate.
Can I use the video in an ad?
Not with the song as it is: making the video gives you no right to the music or to the music video’s look. For an ad, get a music licence or swap the sound, and get written permission from anyone in the photos.
