This upbeat song shows how attraction between water molecules creates surface tension and how dish liquid lowers it where it touches. The resulting tension difference moves the surface outward, carrying the floating pepper to the rim—it is not being scared or directly repelled. Try the experiment with adult help.
Original explanations based on the cited sources.
Attraction between molecules makes a liquid surface tend to shrink its area. This effect helps form droplets; the surface is not an actual skin.
Sources
For an object floating freely, buoyancy balances its weight. Under ordinary conditions, an object denser on average than the liquid sinks; trapped air counts in that average.

2:41A lively water-adventure song about buoyant force, displacement, density, floating, and sinking. A rubber duck leads from a simple bowl of water to the reason a huge steel ship can stay afloat. The famous Eureka story is clearly presented as a legend.
2:15This upbeat children’s song uses a toy cart to show how force and mass affect acceleration. Kids discover why a stronger net force changes motion faster at the same mass, while added mass produces less acceleration under the same force. It also introduces the simple relationship F = ma.
