What is the I love the Smiths meme

It comes from the elevator scene in 500 Days of Summer (2009). Tom rides the lift with his headphones on, Summer hears The Smiths’ “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” leaking out of them, and tells him: “I love the Smiths.” A few more words, a few lines of the song, and the doors open.

On TikTok the line became a trend of its own: people act out the elevator moment with a partner or a crush, or use it as shorthand for meeting someone through music. In 2026 AI video accounts started swapping new couples into the scene, and @coenai’s version from November 6, 2026 is the one this template follows.

FAQ

Who made the original video?

The original was posted by coenai on TikTok. This template is an unofficial tribute inspired by the original. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by coenai.

What is the I love the Smiths trend?

It recreates the elevator scene from 500 Days of Summer: one person pulls their headphones down, the other hears the song and says “I love the Smiths.” In the AI version you put yourself and someone else into the scene, and the looks and the timing stay the same.

Is it the I love the Smiths trend or the 500 Days of Summer elevator scene?

Both names mean the same moment. The film scene is the source; on TikTok it is usually tagged #ilovethesmiths.

Is there a CapCut template or a meme generator for it?

You do not need CapCut or a prompt. Upload two photos here and we make the video. Each video is one payment, with failed videos refunded or retried free.

Who wears the headphones and who talks?

Photo 1 stands on the left with the headphones and stays quiet; photo 2 stands on the right and does the talking and the soft singing. Both wear the clothes from their own photo.

Does it keep the original sound?

Yes. The video is made silent and the original audio of the clip is put back afterwards, so the lines and the mouths line up.

What if it fails?

Failed or blocked videos are not charged: credits go back to your balance. If you bought the video on its own, try again free from your order page, up to three tries, or we refund you.

Will it look exactly like my photo?

Close, but not always exact: how well a face matches depends a lot on the photo and the AI. A sharp photo where the face is big and clear works best; a half-body photo is fine too if it is sharp. Finished videos are not refunded because a face looks less like the photo than you hoped. If it fails, you get free tries and then a refund.

How much does it cost?

480p: $9.90 or 99 credits; 720p: $11.90 or 119 credits. You pay once for one video, with no account or subscription. With an account you can pay in credits instead.
