3 Top TikTok Sounds to Inspire Your Content

You’ve probably come across some of these songs on your for you page recently, but we’ll introduce you to the trends for how these songs are used in videos:

1. Did You Sleep With Him or Kiss Him?

If you think there’s nothing worse than heartbreak, this trending TikTok sound, which originated from a scene in the show "Modern Love," disagrees. 

‍

Currently, movie lovers are making the best use of the sound to their advantage, but it can also work for content creators and small business owners who create fun, relatable content to engage their audience. You can tweak the words to fit your content style using text overlay. For instance, in response to the question “Did you sleep with him or kiss him?” write something else that could break your heart. 

‍

A beauty expert could replace “kiss him” with “go out without putting on sunscreen,” while a fitness trainer could replace the words with “cut out carbs totally from your diet.”

2. Hey, Smile

This trending TikTok sound can work well for content creators across the board – whether you’re a travel blogger, lifestyle creator, influencer, or service-based brand. Use the sound to show your audience what makes you smile. 

‍

First, show a video of you wearing a straight face ignoring the first camera shutter sound and childish voice commanding you to smile. Then, show an image or video of something you love when the next alluring voice coerces you to smile. Finally, cut to a new video of you smiling.

3. You’ll Never Believe What Happened From “Henry Danger the Musical”

Anime lovers are cashing in on this breakout trend. This audio has been used in fewer than two thousand TikTok videos, which means it's a great time to use it. Being among the early thousands of users who incorporate a trending song into their video can get you a spot on the audio results page. And the more compelling your video is, the more TikTok users you can turn into followers.

‍

Using text overlay, you can communicate outstanding news or discovery that applies to your experience as an influencer, product-based content creator, or service-based content creator.

‍

Service-based content creators like coaches can share a service update, while product-based content creators can share product updates, such as restock announcements or a new product launch.

10 Top Trending TikTok Songs to Add to Your Videos

Our curated list of the most popular songs on the TikTok app will help you discover trending songs that match your niche and content style. Use these trending songs to speak to your audience's interests and needs. 

1. “S.I.M.P. (Squirrels in My Pants)” from “Phineas and Ferb”

It’s not what you think. It’s funnier. The S.I.M.P soundtrack was pulled from the Phineas and Ferb show. S.I.M.P., which stands for “squirrels in my pants,” is one goofy song you can groove to. You can jump on it with a couple of friends if you’re more into lifestyle content creation. It also works for artsy content, so be sure to show off your vibe while you wiggle around.

‍

It would require a bit of calculation to create the perfect illusion. Your friend could take a step back while you have your hands close to the camera to create the illusion you contained them in your palm. And work in tandem with the beat — shout when she shouts, wiggle when she squirms.

2. “Unholy” by Sam Smith ft. Kim Petras

The teaser version of this popular song is still a fan favorite and is mostly used for creating smooth transitions between outfits and makeup looks. Artistic creators can also use it in videos showcasing their best artworks, products, and designs. 

3. “CUFF IT” by Beyoncé

Beyoncé's jam gives the ultimate kick-it-and-relax vibe. It is still a fan favorite, with many influencers creating dance-along videos while living their best lives, sipping wine, enjoying family time, hosting bedroom concerts for invisible fans – all that great stuff.

‍

This trending song also works great as background audio across content niches, from product showcases to makeup and hair tutorials. You can even duet a popular video to get in on the fun.

4. “I'm Good (Blue)” by Bebe Rexha & David Guetta 

David Guetta and Bebe Rexha made a ‘90s comeback. Their catchy rendition with an infusion of 1998's hit song “I’m Blue” has inspired lots of remixes. This trending TikTok sound can serve as nice background audio for a wide range of content types. Use it over product videos, dress-up videos, tutorials, and more.

5. “BILLIE EILISH.” by Armani White

This song linked to this original sound by rapper Armani has been trending for months and is still going strong. It works great when creating dramatic transitions. However, as a fun update, you can also use this to create a shocking throwback reveal. 

‍

First, show a current video of yourself. Then, at the drop of the beat, change to a video of a younger, goofier version of yourself. Use the text overlay to display the words, “Yo antes” which is Spanish for “before” or “in the past”.  

6. “dumb dumb” by Mazie

Small business owners can get on this new song by Mazie. Play this sound over behind-the-scenes footage of your content creation or product creation process. 

‍

Craft makers can share product designs that went horribly wrong, while artists can share photo slides of artworks that came out just flawed.

7. “Late Night Talking” by Harry Styles 

After a few months, this song by Harry Styles is still in top TikTok playlists on Spotify. Lifestyle content creators, influencers, and service-based content creators can hop on this one. Use it to add sound to your vlogs, product showcase videos, or photo slides.

8. “Bad Habit” by Steve Lacy 

Lifestyle Influencers can use this trending song to share POV videos of shocking, newly discovered facts like you can donate human hair to combat oil spills, or personal preferences, such as your take on relationship matters.

‍

You can also just go along with the line of the song, “I bite my tongue, it’s a bad habit,” and share a pet peeve or a bad but not-so-bad habit you can’t stop doing.

9. “SNAP” by Rosa Linn

The finger trick trend accompanying this popular song is making the rounds on TikTok. It might require a couple of tries before you get the hang of it. You can practice it if you create mostly personal or lifestyle content. 

‍

However, if you are a product or service-based content creator, then play the sound as background audio over your in-the-making product videos, how-tos, or DIYs. 

10. “Run Boy Run” by Woodkid

This trending TikTok sound gives off a summer feel and reminds you of all things bright and happy. It accompanies the “If I was” trend, where you share photo slides as your partner’s response to a myriad of questions about you, in answer to “If I was that, what type would I be?” Where “that” is a placeholder for objects and entities, ranging from colors to weather, and food.

‍

It’s a good trend for lifestyle content creators to jump on.
