Epidemic Sound’s world-class catalog is safe to use on TikTok. You can also use full-length Epidemic Sound tracks on TikTok. Just add them to your content in a third-party app, upload the video to TikTok, and avoid the platform’s 60-second music limit.
How can I use trending music on TikTok without copyright issues?
Finding trending music that’s safe to use across platforms like TikTok, without copyright problems, can be a challenge. Scrolling your For You Page is great for spotting viral sounds, but using that same track in a branded post is risky.
The safest strategy is to source your music from a pre-cleared, royalty-free catalog. This gives you the freedom to capture the energy of a trend with a track that’s legally cleared for commercial use everywhere, so you don’t have to worry about copyright.
-
Spot the trend: Use your For You Page and TikTok’s trendwatch tool to see which dances, challenges, and sounds are going viral.
-
Find a safe alternative: Instead of using the original, copyrighted audio, try a fully licensed music catalog like Epidemic Sound. You can find similar tracks based on vibe, genre, BPM, and more — it’s all included in the license.
-
Leverage curated playlists: Epidemic Sound’s regularly updated playlists, including those tracking the latest TikTok trends, are packed with trending, royalty-free tracks across nearly 400 genres. All world-class, all created by real artists, and all cleared for use across TikTok and other social channels.
How do I find the right music for my TikTok videos?
Everything matters, including mood, pace, instrumentation, and more. The perfect sound should feel like a natural part of your story, enhancing the video without overpowering it.
For dialogue-heavy videos, you’ll need something more subtle. On the other hand, high-energy visuals call for music with a strong, driving beat to captivate your audience and match the on-screen action.
Here are some popular pairings to get you started:
-
Best for vlogs & tutorials: Think calm and cool with lo-fi, acoustic, or ambient instrumentals that won’t distract from your voice.
-
Best for dance & fitness: Get moving with high-energy electronic, pop, or hip-hop tracks with a clear, consistent beat to drive the action.
-
Best for comedy & skits: Use quirky, upbeat, or dramatic sound effects and tracks to bring the house down every time.

How do I edit music for TikTok?
Sound makes good video great. In just a few steps, music and sound effects can transform visual content.
Here’s how:
-
Sync your edits to the beat: Time your cuts, transitions, and on-screen action to match the music’s rhythm. This makes your visuals feel dynamic, professional, and in line with the music. You can find the perfect tempo by filtering tracks in the Epidemic Sound catalog by beats per minute (BPM).
-
Balance your volume: If your video has a voiceover, use TikTok’s “Volume” tool to lower the music. This keeps your voice clear while the music provides the perfect background vibe.
-
Find the best 15-second hook: Don’t just use the start of the sound. Find the most memorable part, like the chorus or a beat drop, to grab your viewers’ attention.
-
Complete the look with great captions: Once your audio’s nailed, it’s time for the finishing touches. Use TikTok captions to make your content more accessible and amplify your message.
-
Use Epidemic Sound’s next-level editing tools: Build fully synced soundtrack drafts with Studio, find the right track with Assistant, and generate that 15-second loop with Adapt. Epidemic Sound’s AI tools supercharge your workflow, giving you more time to do what matters: create.
