Imael Angel AI: what is confirmed
Ask "is Imael Angel AI?" and you get half an answer: the release, the charts and the artist's own description can be checked, but how "Bad Times" was produced has not been explained in public. The song drives the Bad Times trend, which is why so many people are asking now.
Release and versions
"Bad Times" came out on 30 March 2026 on Imael Angel Records, the artist's own label. Official versions: the 2:48 original, a 6:40 Extended/Long Version, a 3:08 Dance Remix from 24 April 2026 and a 5:14 MSSNGRS Extended Club Mix from 13 August 2026.
The YouTube upload
The official upload is titled "Bad Times Deep House" on the Imael Angel channel and runs 6:41. It had passed 53 million views by 20 October 2026; TikTok videos use a one-minute cut.
Chart positions
It entered the UK Official Singles Chart at No. 97 (announced 25 September 2026) and peaked at No. 67, with No. 4 on the Official Singles Sales Chart and No. 2 on the Downloads Chart. It was No. 1 on Shazam's Global Top 200 on 19 October 2026; on Billboard's charts dated 17 October 2026 it placed No. 8 on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and No. 3 on Digital Song Sales.
Who is behind the name
Imael Angel's own website describes the artist as a "Deep House Producer, Reiki Master & Teacher" based in the UK. Deezer credits the composition to Bernadett Gango, and Hungarian public broadcaster MédiaKlikk and other outlets report that Imael Angel is the stage name of Bernadett Gángó, a Hungarian-born Reiki healer living in England.
The Imael Angel AI evidence people cite
Four sources turn up in nearly every Imael Angel AI thread. Each says something different, and none is the artist explaining how "Bad Times" was made.
Deezer's AI content flag
According to Deezer's catalogue data, the original "Bad Times", its Long Version and its Dance Remix are marked as containing identified AI content, a result of Deezer's own detection.
The Music Story bio on Deezer
Deezer's artist bio, supplied by the metadata provider Music Story, calls Imael Angel "an artist created with artificial intelligence by a Hungarian deep house producer". It is a third-party description, not the artist's own words.
Media reports
French radio station Fréquence 3 and other outlets report that her songs are made with AI tools such as Suno and Udio.
HUGEL, on a different song
HUGEL has said his hit "Movin' To The Sun" started from a Suno demo by Imael Angel and that his team "essentially reproduced everything from scratch".
The composer credit
Deezer lists the composer as Bernadett Gango; MédiaKlikk and others report that Imael Angel is her stage name.
The artist's own website
Her UK site calls her a "Deep House Producer, Reiki Master & Teacher".
Bad Times AI song claims: how to read them
Searches for "bad times ai song" and "Imael Angel AI" grew as the track climbed the charts while feeds filled with AI pets and babies; many people first heard it under a Bad Times dance clip. These checks keep facts and reports apart.
How the AI pet videos of the trend are made
The Imael Angel AI debate is about the music; the AI in the trend videos is a separate thing. The dogs, cats and babies acting out Bouuh Yachaka's kitchen argument are AI edits of a performance clip, and a Bad Times AI video works the same way from one photo.
Four templates
Pet for dogs, cats and other animals, Baby for a baby, Original for a person in the kitchen clip, Halloween for a costumed version.
The scene comes from the clip
Your photo supplies the look: breed, fur, markings or face. Room, camera moves and timing come from the template clip.
Paws stay paws
Many AI versions give pets human fingers when they show their open "palms". The Pet template is driven by a dog performing the routine, so paws stay paws; the Bad Times dog page covers which dog photos work best.
Three lengths
5 seconds for the head grab and first "hold on", 15 seconds through the first lunge, or 30 seconds (Ultra only) for the full first half of the routine, as most viral versions run.
Photo and file
One clear, well-lit, full-body photo of one subject; children only from a parent or guardian. You get a 9:16 MP4 with the song.

Imael Angel AI: questions people search
Is Imael Angel AI?
The artist has not confirmed it either way. Deezer's catalogue data flags "Bad Times" as containing identified AI content, the Music Story bio on Deezer describes an artist created with AI, and outlets such as Fréquence 3 report tools like Suno and Udio. No public statement from Imael Angel or her label explains how the song was made.
Is Imael Angel a real person?
Reports say the name belongs to a real person. Deezer lists Bernadett Gango as composer, and MédiaKlikk and other outlets report that Imael Angel is the stage name of Bernadett Gángó, a Hungarian-born Reiki healer living in England. Whether AI tools shaped the music is a separate question from who runs the project.
Is Bad Times an AI song?
It is flagged, not confirmed. Deezer's detection marks the original, the Long Version and the Dance Remix as containing identified AI content, and media report that her songs use AI tools. The artist and label have not publicly described how "Bad Times" was produced, so the question stays open.
Did Suno make Bad Times?
That has not been confirmed. Fréquence 3 and other outlets report that her songs are made with tools such as Suno and Udio, and HUGEL has said his "Movin' To The Sun" began as a Suno demo by Imael Angel. Neither documents how "Bad Times" itself was created.
Why do so many people search Imael Angel AI?
Because the song is the soundtrack of a trend full of AI videos. As pets and babies repeated Bouuh Yachaka's routine to it, "Bad Times" reached No. 1 on Shazam's Global Top 200 on 19 October 2026 and its YouTube upload passed 53 million views, so many first-time listeners want to know who is behind it.
Is Bad Times AI Video connected to Imael Angel?
No. Bad Times AI Video is an independent fan-made tool, not affiliated with Imael Angel, Bouuh Yachaka or TikTok. Videos made here play with the song because the trend uses it, and this page takes no position on the Imael Angel AI question beyond the sources it names.
Can I make the AI pet version of Bad Times?
Yes, from one photo. Pick the Pet template, upload a clear full-body photo of your dog, cat or other animal, choose 5, 15 or 30 seconds and a quality level, and your pet takes over the routine with the song. For casting and caption ideas, see the Bad Times meme page.
Make your own AI pet version of Bad Times
The Imael Angel AI question may stay open for a while. Your pet starting the kitchen argument doesn't have to wait: one photo and the Pet template.
