Music & Licensing
Using the wrong music in campaign content can lead to takedowns, muted audio, or content rejection. This guide covers safe music sources and what to avoid.
Safe Sources
| Source | License Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TikTok Commercial Music Library | Commercial use approved | Available in TikTok's sound picker under "Commercial Sounds" |
| Instagram Music Library (Creator accounts) | Platform-licensed | Broader selection than business accounts |
| Epidemic Sound | Subscription license | Popular with creators, covers YouTube + social |
| Artlist | Universal license | One subscription covers all platforms |
| Original audio | You own it | Always the safest option |
What to Avoid
- Trending sounds on TikTok without checking commercial licensing.
- Popular songs by major artists (almost never licensed for ads).
- "Royalty-free" from random websites — verify the license actually covers commercial/sponsored use.
- AI-generated music that mimics copyrighted songs.
Rejection Triggers
Content may be rejected during review if:
- The audio is from a non-commercial library.
- A copyright claim has already been filed against the track.
- The audio drowns out a required verbal disclosure.
- The music is inappropriate for the brand's audience (explicit lyrics, etc.).
When in doubt, use original audio or the platform's built-in commercial music library. These are always safe for sponsored content.
