What is this trend about
The manifesting trend took off with Dua Lipa’s Training Season, as creators used the song to imagine every possible wish: perfect partner, lifestyle, you name it.

The “manifestation” itself isn't just about love; you can manifest a trip, money, confidence, or even a nap (honestly, same)
But this format goes beyond just relationships.
A TikTok creator shares the same idea with her own word of affirmation, which other creators reuse for other parts of life: money, careers, travel, homes, confidence, or simply a better future.

Everyone has something they’re manifesting. The appeal is also simple: you pick a dream, find the right visual, and post it like it’s already yours.
The formula
Something I want + Aspirational visual + Relevant sound

Use the same approach: pick something you want, find a visual that shows it, and let your audience picture themselves with it.
If you’re a creator, make your aspiration specific so people can picture it right away. The more recognizable the dream, like a job, holiday, or relationship, the easier it is for others to relate.
