BUILT FOR TIKTOK BRANDS

Royalty Free Music for TikTok

Switch a profile to a Business Account and TikTok quietly swaps the full catalog for its Commercial Music Library, which is where most brands find out the restriction exists at all. A track you license yourself sits outside that split completely, so the account type stops deciding what the post sounds like and the same audio still works on every platform you repost it to.

OUR MUSIC

Copyright free music for TikTok, built for the first two seconds

TikTok gives a track almost no runway. The hook has to arrive before a thumb decides, and on the fourth rewatch the loop has to come back around without an audible seam. Six from our catalog to give you the idea, across hip hop, pop, electronic, lo-fi, funk and Latin. All of it cleared for a Business Account, for branded content, for paid campaigns, and for the version of the same edit that goes out as a Reel on Tuesday.

OUR CATALOG

Looking for a sound the algorithm hasn't already pushed at everyone this week?

Filter by genre, mood, tempo and energy until it fits the cut, and check whether the track comes with stems if you already know the hook needs to land dry before the beat drops. Sort by the job the track has to do rather than the genre it happens to sit in. Or describe the vibe in plain words and let Supe do the digging.

BUSINESS ACCOUNTS

Why is TikTok only letting me use commercial music?

Because the account is set to Business, and TikTok narrows the catalog for accounts it treats as commercial. Its own Commercial Music Library terms are blunt about it: commercial sounds are the only ones TikTok makes available for commercial use, and no rights are granted to use anything else that way. Most brands find out when a track they picked last month is simply not in the picker

The restriction is about who is posting

Major-label licensing on TikTok covers somebody posting about their weekend, not a business selling something. The option is removed rather than left there for you to misuse, which is why searching harder inside the app never fixes it. A track you licensed yourself sits outside the split entirely.

Pre-cleared and free still puts you on a shared shelf

The Commercial Music Library works, costs nothing, and for a small account it is a reasonable place to start. TikTok's help centre describes it as a collection of over 1,000,000 sounds; TikTok's own business blog puts it at over 600,000. Either way, every other business account draws from the same shelf.

The clearance stops at TikTok's edge

Sounds pulled from inside the app are cleared for the app. Post the same cut to Reels or Shorts and you are outside what you were given. A licensed track travels with the file, which is why one edit clears four platforms instead of one.

Meet Supe

Music search that works the way you think. Describe the post in plain words, react to what comes back, and save your faves for the next batch. Faster than scrolling a genre page hoping something jumps out.

Stems and cut-downs

Strip the vocal so a voiceover has room to sit, pull the drums out for a transition, and grab a fifteen-second cut when the edit runs shorter than the track. Same track, three jobs, no re-licensing and no second download.

Playlists and projects

Keep a running shortlist per campaign or per client, and share the link when somebody else is posting this week. They do not need an account to listen, and the shortlist stays put when the campaign comes back around next quarter.

Tiktok music licensing rules for creators and brands

Frequently asked questions

Download it from a licensing catalog and add it to the video before you upload, rather than picking a sound inside the app. Every Soundstripe download issues a license in your name covering organic posts, branded content and paid campaigns, on a Business Account or a personal one. The track lands as a file on your machine, so it is already in the edit by the time TikTok sees it.
Everything in TikTok's Commercial Music Library, which is the catalog Business Accounts are given. Royalty free means the licence is paid once rather than per play, so nothing accrues as a video keeps circulating. Commercial releases and trending sounds outside that library are not royalty free, whatever the sound page suggests, and that is the distinction that catches most brand accounts out.
Music from TikTok's Commercial Music Library, or music you hold your own licence for. Both are cleared. The practical difference is reach: CML sounds are cleared for use on TikTok, while a track you license yourself is cleared wherever you post it. Trending commercial releases sit outside both categories for any account that is promoting something.
Inside the app, tap Add Sound and filter to Commercial Sounds on a Business Account. Outside the app, a licensing catalog gives you the file itself, which you drop into the edit before uploading. If you want the step-by-step on getting audio into a post either way, we have written that up separately.
Yes. A track you have licensed is not part of TikTok’s library, so the restrictions on that library do not apply to it. You add the audio to the video in your editing app and upload the finished file rather than picking a sound in the app, and TikTok may ask you to confirm you hold the rights to the audio you uploaded. Your licence document is what backs that up.
Yes, and on Shorts, and anywhere else the same cut goes. One licence covers every platform you publish to, which is the practical gap between licensing a track and borrowing one from an in-app library. Audio taken from inside TikTok is cleared for TikTok and nothing else, which is where most cross-posting problems start.
There is no 30 second rule. It is a persistent myth that using under thirty seconds of a song counts as fair use, and Content ID matches short excerpts routinely. Fair use is a legal defence decided case by case, not a length you can stay under. If you need the music to be safe, the reliable route is a track you hold a license for.
