“Wait I need a minute…”

This trend uses the build-up in Sabrina Carpenter’s song to reveal a dramatic transition.

Opening Clip: Calm or simple shot, creator looks ordinary, the setting is plain, or they show an “unready” look.

Beat Drop (“Here it comes…”)Snap Transition: Instantly cut to a new vibe — glam outfit, bold makeup, new location, or even a surprise scene.

The timing of the edit is everything: match the snap or jump-cut with the exact beat drop for maximum impact.

Let’s take a look at some examples:

Creators often add movement to hide the cut:

  • Spin your head or hair in the first clip and finish the spin in the second clip.
  • Swipe your hand across the screen.
  • A full-body move

How to Join the Trend

  1. Film Two Clips:
    • Clip 1 → neutral/start state.
    • Clip 2 → transformed/end state (new outfit, space, product on screen, etc.).
  2. Edit on Beat: Line up the cut at the exact “Here it comes” lyric or beat drop.
  3. Add Captions or Text Overlay: Optional but effective, tease the reveal (“wait for it…”, “before coffee vs after”, etc.).

Creative Angles for Brands

This trend is perfect for reveals not just personal glow-ups:

  • Product Launches: Show the “old way” vs. the product reveal.
  • App Feature Drops: First clip shows a problem → beat drop reveals the new feature solving it.
  • Makeover & Styling: Outfit change, hair/makeup, room décor.
  • Travel / Events: Before packing vs. arrival at destination.
