How to Make the 58th Floor AI Video — Anderson .Paak & Cordae A COLORS SHOW
The Mic Changes Hands
On October 30, 2026, COLORS posted Anderson .Paak and Cordae performing "58th Floor" from their joint album Heavy Is the Crown. The caption read: "Some people bring out your best. Others bring out your worst."
The setup is classic COLORS — a seamless teal studio, one vintage microphone hanging from the ceiling, nothing else. .Paak opens with the verse and the hook on the left side of the frame while Cordae stands beside him nodding along, mouth closed. Then they turn to face each other, the mic changes hands, and Cordae raps his verse straight at .Paak. .Paak grins, nods, and hits the scrunched-up "that's hard" face. Partway through, .Paak throws himself backward and Cordae catches him — a pretend balcony tumble that pauses the music long enough for both of them to check the hat is still on.
The clip passed 650,000 plays, 110,000 likes, and nearly 12,000 saves in three days. AI remakes started within hours.
The 58th Floor COLORS template on Summrs puts two people into that session. Two photos in, one COLORS performance out.
The Second A COLORS SHOW to Go Viral as AI
If this format looks familiar, it is. The Hotel Lobby A COLORS SHOW video — Quavo and Takeoff in the orange booth — became the biggest COLORS AI trend of 2026. Complex, Tom's Guide, and dozens of outlets covered it. The format proved that A COLORS SHOW sessions are ideal for AI: the solid-color backdrop, the single mic, the minimal set. No crowd, no complicated scenery, no moving camera to track. Just two people performing.
58th Floor is the same structure in a different color. Orange became teal, Migos became .Paak and Cordae, and the vibe shifted from hard bars to friendship chemistry. The A COLORS SHOW format does not decay — Hotel Lobby has been resurfacing in waves for years — and 58th Floor is three days into the same trajectory.
.Paak and Cordae
This is not a random pairing. .Paak appeared on "RNP" from Cordae's debut album Lost Boy in 2019. They have known each other for years, and that familiarity turns the performance into physical comedy — the backward fall, the catching, the face .Paak makes when Cordae hits a line. In the closing bars both of them are dancing, laughing, and egging each other on with the hanging mic swinging between them.
Heavy Is the Crown is their first joint album, released October 23, 2026. The COLORS session landed one week later.

- Open the 58th Floor COLORS template on Summrs.
- Upload the left person — this person finishes the hook and gets the opening screen time. They are on .Paak's side.
- Upload the right person — this person takes the verse, rapping straight at person 1. They are on Cordae's side.
- Pick 1080p or 720p and generate.
You get a landscape 16:9 clip, about 14 seconds, with the song already on it. Both people lip-sync their part — whoever is not rapping keeps their mouth closed and vibes.
Left Person, Right Person
The two roles are cast by side, not by who uploaded first:
- Left (Photo 1) — finishes the hook to camera, then turns to face the right person as the mic changes hands. More screen time in the opening. If you are making this for a friend, put them on the left.
- Right (Photo 2) — takes the verse, rapping straight at the left person. Gets the close-up and the wide shot. If the joke is "this person can rap," put them on the right.
The two cross over during the performance, but the AI keeps each person attached to their original performer throughout. A cut does not swap the roles.
Photos That Work
The COLORS format is mostly medium and close-up shots, so face clarity matters more than anything:
- One person per photo — the AI assigns one identity per role.
- Face visible and well lit — the close-ups are tight. Shadows, sunglasses, or hair across the face will weaken identity in those shots.
- Full-body or waist-up is best — the wide shot shows you head to toe. If your photo stops at the chest, the rest of the outfit is filled in to match what is visible.
- Different outfits help — two people in similar dark clothes are harder to distinguish in the two-shots. Contrasting colors give clearer separation.
Everyone keeps their own face, hair, and outfit from their photo. Nobody gets .Paak's sunglasses or Cordae's jacket — your clothes are your clothes.

What song plays? "58th Floor" by Anderson .Paak and Cordae, from their joint album Heavy Is the Crown.
