The song is Bruno Mars' 'When I Was Your Man'. 8 seconds, vertical 9:16, 125 credits.
The "I hope he buys you flowers" pet video, starring your own dog or cat. A flower stem pokes out of its nose, it pulls out a daisy, and hands it to you:
I Hope He Buys You Flowers
One photo of your pet: it pulls a daisy out of its nose and offers it to you, set to the song. 8 seconds.
What Is the "I Hope He Buys You Flowers" Video?
It's a pet clip set to the chorus of Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man": "I hope he buys you flowers, I hope he holds your hand." A fluffy dog looks into the camera with a little green stem sticking out of its nose, paws at it, and pulls out a whole daisy, then offers it up like it's apologising.
The joke is the song. It's the most heartbroken ballad Bruno Mars ever released, and the one who gets you flowers turns out to be the dog.
About the Song
"When I Was Your Man" is from Bruno Mars' second album, Unorthodox Jukebox (2012). It's a piano ballad about losing someone because you never bought the flowers or held the hand, and wishing the next person does better. It went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2013, and the "I hope he buys you flowers" line has been a caption for heartbreak ever since.
What You Get
- Your pet, clearly recognisable, as a real animal with its own paws.
- The full gag. Stem in the nose, the paw at the lens, the daisy coming out, the offer to camera.
- The song, the whole way through.
- 8 seconds, vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Beat by Beat
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–1.5s | Close-up looking up at your pet, a green stem sticking out of its nose, head bobbing |
| 1.5–5.5s | It lifts a paw toward the camera and paws at the stem |
| 5.5–7s | It pulls the stem out, and a white daisy comes out of its nose |
| 7–8s | It holds the daisy up to you |
Use a clear, front-facing photo of your pet's face in good light. Close-ups work best, because the whole video is a close-up.
Change the Flower
By default it's a small white daisy. To change it, add a director's note: "a red rose", "a sunflower", "a pink bow on her head". The look changes; your pet doesn't.
The Fastest Way
I Hope He Buys You Flowers
Your pet pulls a daisy out of its nose and hands it to you. One photo, 8 seconds.
One photo, 125 credits, no prompt needed. Find it in Pets & Animals.
Build It Yourself
1. Start from a clean clip. A one-take close-up of a pet with a flower, no cuts.
2. Make an opening frame of your pet. Recreate the first frame with your pet in place of the original, stem in the nose. Video models copy the opening frame closely, so get it right.
3. Use video-to-video. Feed the clip as the motion reference and the frame as the look. Describe movement from the very first second, or the model holds the opening frame still.
Common Mistakes
A far-away photo. The video is a tight close-up, so a tiny pet in a big room loses detail.
Covered faces. Sunglasses, hands or toys over the face make it harder to keep your pet recognisable.
Two pets in one photo. It's built for one star. Crop to the one you want.
