What do you write on the I'm so sorry trend slides?

An opener on the first slide ("This is me as a little girl" or "When I was little I was a princess for Halloween"), one "Ok sorry, …" line on each middle slide owning up to one thing, and "I'm so sorry" alone on the last slide, the real photo.

What is the most common lie in the trend?

Hair. In the 10 new posts we read slide by slide (9 in Spanish, 1 in English), 7 take back hair color or hair style; outfits, poses, makeup and backgrounds come next.

What do the Spanish posts say?

They open with "Esta soy yo de chiquita…", own up with "Mentira, …", "Tampoco …", "Bueno, …" or "Ni …", and every one of the 9 new Spanish posts we read ends on "Perdón".

How should the text look on the slides?

Like TikTok's own text tool: white letters with a thin dark outline, no box behind them, centered. In the posts we read the closing line is often bigger than the others.

I'm So Sorry Trend Captions: Lines People Use

The short answer. I'm so sorry trend captions come in three parts: an opener on slide 1 ("This is me as a little girl"), one "Ok sorry, …" line on each middle slide that owns up to one AI fix ("Ok sorry, I had yellow hair"), and "I'm so sorry" alone on the last slide, the real photo. Hair is the lie owned up to most often. Below are the lines we read word for word on real TikTok posts in English and Spanish, and the preset lines for each photo type on Perdon Trend, which puts them on the slides for you.

Updated October 21, 2026.

The three parts of a caption set

Every post we read follows the same order. Slide 1 claims the dream version of the photo. Each middle slide confesses one thing, starting with a word that signals the confession: "Ok sorry", "jk", "Okay". The last slide is the real photo with the apology and nothing else. One caption per slide, one lie per caption.

The text looks like TikTok's own text tool: white letters with a thin dark outline, no box, centered. In the posts we read the closing line is often bigger than the lines before it.

English openers

These are the first-slide lines we read on English posts using "original sound - secret":

"When I was little I was a princess for Halloween"
"When I was little I was princess peach for Halloween"
"This is me as a little girl"
"my mom dressed me up as a princess when i was little", from a childhood post with 1.3 million views and 230,000 shares

The Halloween opener is the biggest branch in English: 195 of the 621 English posts we sampled mention Halloween or a costume. More on that in the "I'm so sorry I lied" Halloween trend.

English "Ok sorry" lines

The middle-slide lines we read, word for word:

"Ok sorry, I had yellow hair"
"Ok sorry, I never had a dress"
"Ok sorry. I didn't have that big of a dress"
"Ok sorry. my hair wasn't actually blonde"
"Yeah we actually only had facepaint"
"Sorry I didn't actually dress that nice"
"Oh and my hair was not done up"
"jk i didn't even have curly hair"
"jk I have no fans", on a sports photo where the AI version had a full stadium
"Okay it was a Dalmatian", on a costume photo

In the three English sorry posts we read slide by slide, hair is taken back 3 times, the dress or outfit 3 times and makeup once.

English closers

The last slide always apologizes: "I'm sorry", "Im freaking sorry", "I'm so f***ing sorry I was an odd ball". That closing line is where the trend's name comes from.

The Spanish lines (trend del perdón)

The same joke in Spanish ends on "Perdón". We read 10 new posts slide by slide, 9 of them in Spanish, and counted the line shapes:

Line shape (Spanish)	Meaning	How often, in those 10 posts
Perdón (alone, last slide)	Sorry	All 9 Spanish posts
Tampoco …	… wasn't true either	9 lines in 7 posts
Bueno, …	Well, …	7 lines in 4 posts
Mentira, …	That was a lie, …	6 lines in 4 posts
la verdad / en realidad …	Truth is, …	6 lines in 6 posts
… tan + adjective (no estaba tan bonito)	… wasn't that nice	5 lines in 4 posts
Ni …	Not even …	4 lines in 3 posts

Every one of the 9 new Spanish posts we read ends on "Perdón", and "Tampoco …" is the most used confession, with 9 lines in 7 posts. The most-shared Spanish post of the wave, by @julietaasoriia with about 40 million views, reads: "esta soy yo de chiquita en una foto distraída / mentira, mi casa no es tan linda / tampoco soy rubia / ni estaba tan distraída / perdón". The earliest sports version we found, by @ssebbbaa__, reads: "este soy yo un día cualquiera compitiendo / mentí, no salto tan alto ni soy rubio / tampoco tengo tantos músculos / perdón".

Lines by photo type

On Perdon Trend each style starts with preset lines in the trend's wording: the first confession says "ok i lied, …", the later ones go on with "… either" or "and …", and the last slide always says "i'm so sorry". Once the set is made, tap "✎ Edit the words on your slides": the edit page lets you rewrite every line but the last and move each one up or down the slide, then save again with no new credits. The sets below show each style's lines on its sample slides. The last lie is taken back by the real photo without a line, as in the posts.

The Perdon Trend edit page: the phone preview with slide 1 caption, the box to rewrite it, the line to drag it up or down, and the note that slide 5 always says “i’m so sorry” — The edit page of a finished set: pick a slide, rewrite its line, drag it on the phone, save again.

Slide 1: a girl in a glossy blonde wig, crown and pink princess gown in a candlelit party room — Halloween costume: wig, costume, party and makeup.

Slide 2: the same gown, now with a cheap yellow wig — Halloween costume: wig, costume, party and makeup.

Slide 1: a girl with blonde curls and a princess dress at a plate of spaghetti in a marble dining room — Childhood photo: house, blonde hair, candid pose and dress.

Slide 2: the same girl in an ordinary kitchen — Childhood photo: house, blonde hair, candid pose and dress.

Slide 1: a scruffy terrier with a big red bow on a red velvet dog bed — Pet: grooming, bow, bed and pose.

Slide 2: the same dog, bow and bed, less groomed — Pet: grooming, bow, bed and pose.

Slide 1: a muscular boy with bleached blonde hair jumping high over a muddy football — Sports photo: jump, muscles and blonde hair, three lies and four slides. All four sets start from AI-made test photos, not real people.

Slide 2: no big jump, he just runs at the ball — Sports photo: jump, muscles and blonde hair, three lies and four slides. All four sets start from AI-made test photos, not real people.

Writing your own lines

Confess things people can see. Hair, outfits, poses, makeup and the place are what the posts we read take back.
One lie per line. Each slide undoes one thing, so its line names one thing.
Keep the closer bare. The posts end on the apology alone; the real photo says the rest.
Keep it to 4 or 5 slides. Most posts have 4 slides; 5 is the next most common. On our site that is 3 or 4 lies, up to 4.

For the whole process, from the photo to posting it, see how to do the I'm so sorry trend.
