How to Make the LISA SaWaDiKa AI Video

By Summrs Team••4 min read

Hello

"SaWaDiKa" is Thai for hello — from "sawasdee ka," the greeting you hear everywhere in Thailand. LISA turned it into the lead single of her PRESS PLAY EP, a rap-forward track produced by Thom Bridges and Ojivolta, and shot the music video across Bangkok with director Bang Jae Yeob. The MV hit 100 million YouTube views faster than any other music video released in 2026, and the TikTok dance challenge that followed brought the choreography to millions more.

Most AI versions of SaWaDiKa recreate the vertical dance challenge. This template does something different: it puts you into the actual music video. Horizontal 16:9, the same camera angles, the same Bangkok backdrop, and the SaWaDiKa track playing over everything. Open the LISA SaWaDiKa template on Summrs and upload one photo.

What You Get

The template uses a section of the official music video — about 22 seconds of LISA performing. The AI replaces LISA with you while keeping everything else:

  • The choreography. Sharp arm accents, hip sways, kicks, the wai (palms pressed together — the Thai greeting the song is named after). The moves stay frame for frame.
  • The camera. Same angles, same framing, same cuts. The MV was praised for how little the camera cuts away — you stay in frame.
  • The setting. Bangkok. The same lighting, the same production design, the same background.
  • The song. The SaWaDiKa track plays over the video. This is a music video, not a silent clip.

It is horizontal — 16:9, built for YouTube, Twitter, and landscape posts. Not the vertical TikTok format.

Make Your Own SaWaDiKa AI Music Video

  1. Open the LISA SaWaDiKa template on Summrs.
  2. Upload one photo. Face visible, full outfit showing. Whatever you are wearing is what you wear in the video.
  3. Pick your quality — 720p or 480p.
  4. Generate. You get a horizontal MP4 with the SaWaDiKa audio and no watermark.

One photo in, one music video performance out.

Your Outfit Replaces LISA's

The AI uses whatever you are wearing in your photo. LISA's looks from the MV disappear — the red leather bodysuit, the boxing shorts with rhinestone lettering, all of it — and your clothes take their place.

The more outfit that is visible in your photo, the more control you have. Full-body shots work best because the choreography shows you head to toe. If your photo only shows your head or upper body, the AI fills in the rest to match, but the result is less specific to you.

Ideas that work well on this template:

  • Streetwear — the Bangkok setting sells it
  • Something loud — bright colors and patterns pop against the MV's production design
  • A suit or formal look — the contrast with the choreo hits
  • Your actual everyday outfit — the most shareable version, because your friends recognize it instantly

Music Video vs. Dance Challenge

The SaWaDiKa TikTok dance challenge is vertical, about 11 to 15 seconds, and focuses on one section of the chorus choreo — the wai, the arm frames, the hip sways. That is what most SaWaDiKa dance AI tools recreate.

This template is a LISA music video face swap — horizontal, longer, covering multiple sections of choreography instead of just the chorus. Camera work designed for a widescreen music video, not a phone screen. The SaWaDiKa audio is built into the output, and the SaWaDiKa face swap carries your likeness through every angle and cut.

If you want the TikTok dance, plenty of tools do that. If you want to look like you are actually in the MV, this is the one.

Best Photos for the SaWaDiKa Template

  • Full body. The choreography shows you head to toe. More of your outfit in the photo means a better result.
  • Face clear, no sunglasses. The performance includes close-ups and direct-to-camera moments. The AI needs your eyes.
  • Even lighting. The MV has warm, controlled lighting — a well-lit photo blends in naturally.
  • One person. The template swaps one performer. Group photos can confuse which face to use.

The prompt is written to carry whatever your photo shows — any gender, any look, any outfit. The template does not require a specific type of photo beyond the basics above.

About SaWaDiKa

"SaWaDiKa" is the lead single from LISA's PRESS PLAY EP. The title is the Thai greeting for "hello," and the MV was filmed across Bangkok — Hua Lamphong, Soi Ngam Duphli, Soi Chaloem Khet 1 — with Thai cultural elements woven throughout: Muay Thai, tuk-tuks, Chula kites. The choreography blends hip-hop with the wai gesture, and the dance performance video (released a week after the MV) showed the full routine with backup dancers.

LISA is a member of BLACKPINK and a solo artist under LLOUD Co./RCA Records. The official stylization is LISA in caps and SaWaDiKa with alternating capitalization.
