作ってみるWho sings Mi Chico
Mi Chico is by DJ Goja, a Romanian producer whose real name is Ovidiu Marius Goja. According to Songfacts, he first came up with it while working on Piky Songs, his project of songs for children. It was already spreading on TikTok before its official release.
The official version came out on June 26, 2026 and features Jason Derulo and Melody, a Brazilian singer. Its music video was shot in Paris, directed by Kevin Bago, with the dancers Les Twins. In October 2026 it climbed the UK chart from 80 to 36.
Search results on TikTok and Reels can show several versions: the release, sped-up edits and remixes. To use the exact one from a video you like, tap the sound name on that video rather than picking from the search list.
What “mi chico” means
“Mi chico” is Spanish for “my boy” or “my guy”: what you might call a boyfriend, or a friend you’re proud of. The song is an afro house track sung mostly in English, and the Spanish title comes back as its hook.
That’s also why the trend fits a crew: people post it about their boys, their best friends or the friend who always shows up.
Is Mi Chico an AI song?
A lot of people search “Mi Chico AI” to ask exactly this. The song is credited to DJ Goja with Jason Derulo and Melody, and none of the sources we read say it was made with AI. We can’t speak for how it was produced beyond that.
The other “Mi Chico AI” is about video: AI tools that put your face into the rooftop dance. That’s what the Mi Chico page does, from one selfie. The song itself plays over it as the trend sound.
How the song sits in the trend
The trend uses the start of the track. The first five seconds are quieter, while the phone lies on the ground and the crew leans in; the beat gets bigger right as the shot opens on the crew, so the first bounce lands with it. Our video carries those same first 15 seconds, fading out at the very end.
Made your clip without music, or filmed it yourselves? Start the song with your first frame and make sure the hand over the lens comes at about 5 seconds, just before the beat kicks in.
Adding Mi Chico on TikTok
- Open a Mi Chico video that uses the version you like and tap its sound name.
- Tap Use this sound, then upload your video.
- Open Volume and set your original sound to zero, so the song doesn’t play twice.
- Or start from your own upload: tap Add sound, search Mi Chico, trim it to begin at the start of the song, and set the volumes.
Adding it on Reels and Shorts
- Reels: on a Reel with the song, tap the audio name and Use audio. Or add the music while editing your Reel and search Mi Chico, then turn your camera audio down.
- Shorts: tap the sound on a Short that uses Mi Chico, then Use this sound. Or upload your Short and search the library under Sound.
- If the song isn’t in an app’s library where you are, post with the song already in your video and your original sound on.
One song, not two
| What you want | Your video’s sound | The app’s Mi Chico |
|---|---|---|
| To show up on the sound’s page | Off | Up |
| The song exactly as we mixed it | Up | Off |
| A clip you filmed with no music | Off or low | Up |
Both up at once sounds like an echo. Play it through once before you post.
If your video gets muted
- Re-upload with your own sound off and Mi Chico picked from the app: music the app adds is music it has licensed.
- No Mi Chico in the library? Switch from a business account to a personal or creator one, update the app, or start from another video’s sound.
- Made with AI? Label it: on TikTok, turn on the AI-generated content setting before you post.
