What is the I'm So Sorry I Lied trend?

The "I'm so sorry I lied" costume trend, also called the Sorry I Lied trend, took off on TikTok in October 2026. It opens on a polished photo captioned "When I was little I was a witch for Halloween", then "I'm so sorry I lied" cuts to the real childhood photo: a homemade costume, smeared face paint and a harsh camera flash. People now use AI to make the too-perfect first photo. Here, AI makes both photos of little you from one photo of you today.

Add the captions and the sound when you post.

Your 9-second video, beat by beat

  1. 1The first photo holds for four seconds: little you, about six years old, on a sunny front porch in a flawless store-bought costume, hands clasped, smiling sweetly like a professional photo.
  2. 2Hard cut at four seconds to the real photo from that night: the same kid in a cheap homemade costume, lit by a harsh camera flash in front of an old front door.
  3. 3The real photo holds for five seconds, still as an old snapshot: the goofy grin, the crooked framing and every flaw of the homemade costume.

Is "I'm so sorry I lied" the same as the Sorry I Lied trend?

Yes. People call it both, after the caption and the sound (#imsorryilied). It's the Halloween costume photo dump: a too-perfect photo of you as a kid, then the real homemade costume from that night.

Is this the official I'm So Sorry I Lied video?

No. Try a Trend is an independent AI tool that recreates the look of the trend with your own photo. We're not affiliated with TikTok or the creators who started the trend, and the video doesn't use anyone else's photos.

Do I need a photo of me as a kid?

No, and childhood photos aren't accepted: upload one photo of you as an adult today. The AI imagines you at about six years old, keeping your features, skin tone and hair colour, and makes both the picture-perfect photo and the "real" one.

What captions should I add?

The video has no text, so you add the captions in TikTok like everyone else. On the first photo: "When I was little I was a witch for Halloween" (or fairy, princess, pirate, vampire). When the second photo appears: "Sorry I lied" and "I'm so freaking sorry".

Which costumes can I pick?

Witch, fairy, princess, pirate or vampire. Each one comes as a flawless store-bought version for the first photo and a cheap homemade version for the second: green face paint, cardboard wings, a paper crown, a marker eye patch or a trash-bag cape.

Will the second photo look like a real old photo?

It's styled like a snapshot from an early-2000s digital camera: harsh flash, an old front door at night, a bit blurry and badly framed. Both are still photos, about four and five seconds each, with a hard cut in between, the same as the viral clip.

Does the video include the song?

No. Videos are silent so you can add the trending sound directly inside TikTok or Instagram, where it is licensed.

What happens to my photo?

It is used only to make your video and is deleted automatically within 72 hours.
