Quick answer
'Cheetah Print' is a 2026 song by Drake featuring Sexyy Red, the 4th track on Drake's album Maid of Honour, and it peaked at No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. Starrd's Cheetah Print template recreates the look and moves of its music video with you (or your pet) as the star, from one photo. With your back to the camera you flip a light switch and a high-rise apartment turns saturated magenta-pink with electric-blue neon from the windows. You throw both arms out and dance, sing into a fist, dance by a glowing fireplace laughing, then it cuts to a magenta-lit kitchen island: a cup close-up, leaning on the counter singing, dancing with the cup, drinking, bending over the counter. Every move, cut and lip-sync follows the source performance. People keep their own clothes; pets stay real animals, upright on their hind legs with real paws and their own muzzle lip-syncing. 30 seconds, vertical 9:16, 250 credits (about $12.50).

What the Song Actually Is
"Cheetah Print" is a song by Drake featuring Sexyy Red (two y's, though plenty of people search "Sexy Red"). It's the 4th track on Drake's 2026 album Maid of Honour, released May 15, 2026 via OVO Sound and Republic Records, and runs 3:22.
- Who made it. Written by Aubrey Drake Graham, Janae Nierah Wherry (Sexyy Red), SkipOnDaBeat and others; produced by SkipOnDaBeat, Smash David, Sean Turk and Digital Jet.
- What it sounds like. A club track that switches midway, where Sexyy Red takes over. It interpolates DJ Casper's "Cha Cha Slide" and samples Peggy Gou's "(It Goes Like) Nanana".
- How it did. It peaked at No. 41 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 31 on the Canadian Hot 100. Pitchfork named it Best New Track, calling it "the clubby party-starter".
- The video. There's an official music video ("DRAKE FT. SEXYY RED - CHEETAH PRINT" on YouTube). The Starrd template is inspired by the music video's neon apartment and kitchen scenes and recreates that look and those moves with you in it. It's an AI recreation: Drake and Sexyy Red aren't in your video.
What You Get
- The light switch. Back to the camera, you flip a switch and the high-rise apartment turns saturated magenta-pink, with electric-blue neon coming through the windows.
- The performance. Both arms thrown out, dancing, singing into a fist.
- The fireplace. Dancing by a glowing fireplace, laughing.
- The kitchen island. A cut to a magenta-lit kitchen island: a close-up of a cup, leaning on the counter singing, dancing with the cup, drinking, bending over the counter.
- Every move follows the source. Each move, each cut and the lip-sync follow the source performance, so it plays like a real music video rather than a random dance.
- Your own clothes. You keep what you're wearing in your photo.
- 30 seconds, vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
How the Video Plays Out
The template runs the beats in one 30-second vertical clip:
- Lights on. Back to the camera, you flip the light switch and the apartment goes magenta-pink with electric-blue neon from the windows.
- Arms out. You throw both arms out and dance, singing into a fist.
- By the fireplace. You dance by a glowing fireplace, laughing.
- The kitchen island. A cup close-up, you leaning on the counter singing, dancing with the cup, drinking, then bending over the counter.
Pets Stay Real Animals
Hand a pet a human performance and it's easy to end up with a person in a dog costume. Cheetah Print keeps your pet an animal:
- Upright, but still an animal. Your pet stands on its hind legs with real paws, not hands.
- Its own muzzle lip-syncs. No human mouth pasted on; the performance comes out of your pet's own face.
- Animal versions of the human moments. A paw tap on the light switch, sniffing the cup, paws up on the counter.
For pets, use one clear, well-lit photo of a single animal with its face and body visible. For people, one clear photo of just you, in the outfit you want to wear in the video.
The Fastest Way
Cheetah Print
One photo, the full 30-second Cheetah Print music video. People and pets. No prompt to write.
One photo, 250 credits (about $12.50), no prompt. The template holds the apartment, the lighting, the cuts and the performance; your photo only decides who's starring.
Build It Yourself
If you'd rather wire it up by hand, the shape is motion copy: a source performance supplies every move, cut and the lip-sync, and a still supplies who you are.
1. Make the still first. One vertical image of you in the apartment, in your own clothes. It's cheap to iterate on, so generate it on its own and check the identity before you pay for any video.
Place the main subject from the reference photo in a high-rise apartment at night, lit in saturated magenta-pink with electric-blue neon light coming through the windows. PRESERVE the subject's exact identity, face, hair and their OWN clothing. If the subject is an animal, keep it a real animal standing upright on its hind legs with real paws and its own muzzle, not a person in costume. Glossy, music-video lighting. Vertical 9:16. No text, no logos, no watermarks.
2. Then drive it with the performance. Feed the still and the source performance to a video model that can copy motion from a reference video. Seedance 2.0 is the safest choice. The performance supplies the moves, the cuts and the timing of the lip-sync; your still supplies who is doing them.
Check the pet case before you commit. If your dog comes back with human hands or a human mouth, the model is wrong for this, not your photo.
Common Mistakes
A crowded source photo. One subject per photo. A second face muddies who stars.
Prompting the dance instead of copying it. A described "rap video dance" is a different dance every render and won't sit on the beat. Copy the performance.
Letting the pet turn human. Real paws, its own muzzle. If you see hands, start over.
Posting it muted. The track carries the whole thing. Sound on.
Passing it off as the real video. It's an AI recreation starring you. Label it as AI when you post.
