How to Find a Song on TikTok?

In recent years, TikTok has emerged as a global phenomenon, captivating millions with its short, engaging videos that often feature catchy songs and memorable audio clips. For many users, discovering new music is one of the platform's greatest joys. But how exactly do you find that one elusive song stuck in your head? This article will guide you through the process of finding songs on TikTok and navigating its audio features.

TikTok music search

Using the Search Function

The quickest way to find a song on TikTok is by using the search function. Here’s how:

  1. Open the TikTok app and tap the Magnifying Glass icon at the bottom of the screen to access the search bar.
  2. Enter the song title, artist name, or any lyrics you remember. TikTok's search engine is quite robust and should bring up relevant results.
  3. Under the Sounds tab, you’ll find various results for audio clips, including the one you're looking for.

Exploring TikTok's Audio Library

TikTok's extensive audio library is another excellent resource for finding music. The library categorizes sounds and music, making it easy to explore based on genres or themes. You can access the library when creating a video by tapping on the Add Sound option. From here, you can search for specific audio or discover new tracks through various playlists and categories.

Additionally, TikTok curates a list of trending sounds on the homepage under the Discover section. This is an invaluable tool if you want to keep up with the latest audio trends on the platform.

Additionally, participating in challenges and trends can introduce you to trending songs that might become your new favorite hits.

Identify Songs with Third-Party Apps

Sometimes, you come across a song on TikTok but can't find its name or artist through the app’s search function. In such cases, third-party apps like Shazam or SoundHound come in handy. These apps can identify songs in real-time simply by "listening" to them. Here’s how you can use Shazam to find a TikTok song:

  1. Download and install the Shazam app on your device.
  2. Open Shazam and tap the Shazam button while playing the TikTok video.
  3. Shazam will identify the song and provide detailed information about the track.

Conclusion

From using TikTok’s built-in features to leveraging third-party apps, there are multiple ways to discover the music you love on this dynamic platform.
