Looking for the perfect song to add to your TikTok?

The benefits of adding music to a TikTok post are wide-ranging and diverse. Not only does adding music help curate a specific mood, but it also adds context to the video and can enhance the comedy, romance, drama, or mystery of the content. What’s more, adding a trending song or popular clip of music can instantly help your video in its reach, being seen by more users as a result.

In short, the right song can make or break a TikTok video.

But how do you find songs and pick the right one?

Finding the TikTok Music Library

One of the great things about TikTok is the way the app anticipates what you want to do with your content before you do it – suggesting potential songs that match the vibe and tone of your visual content.

When you upload video clips and images to a new TikTok, the platform automatically suggests a song that could work. And if you don’t like the suggestion, it’s incredibly easy to choose something different, following the below steps…

  1. With your photos and video clips selected, click ‘Next’ to hear TikTok’s suggested song choice
  2. To change this, tap on the song name at the top of the preview screen
  3. Browse the ‘Recommended’ songs, view the ‘Recent’ song choices, or search for something completely different by tapping on the magnifying glass icon

Finding Songs Without a New TikTok to Edit

If you want to browse the songs that are trending on TikTok without having a new video to edit, you can do so from the TikTok home screen.

Tap on the magnifying glass icon in the top right hand corner, then type ‘Trending Songs’ into the search bar.

The results you will see are all connected to trending songs and sounds on the app, allowing you to see what’s popular and create content accordingly.

We hope this helps! TikTok’s library of sounds and songs is comprehensive with something available for all content styles and occasions. Finding the perfect match for your next video is simply a case of personal preference, trial and error.
