TikTok

TikTok is a global short-video and social-media platform where music is discovered and spread through Sounds, trends, challenges and user-generated videos.

About TikTok

TikTok is a global short-video and social-media platform from ByteDance. Music is a central component of many videos, trends, challenges and creative formats.

Delivered tracks can become available as official Sounds on the platform and be used by users in their own videos. Repeated sound usage can expose songs to new audiences far beyond conventional streaming mechanisms.

With TikTok for Artists, TikTok provides additional analytics and release tools. The Chinese sister platform Douyin is operated separately and is listed as its own destination on our website.
