Tik Tok has gained mega popularity all over the world in record time. Every day, hundreds of thousands of users create new videos, add music and various effects to them. Surely you have repeatedly come across videos with incendiary music that you wanted to download to your device, but you don’t know who the performer is and what kind of composition it is. In the article, we will tell you how to find a song from Tik Tok in various ways.
About music in Tik Tok
Each video must have an audio sequence. It can be a trending musical composition or your own voice. In the first case, the audio track will be signed by the artist and the title of the song. Or, if the tiktoker does not add music, but says something to the camera, the inscription will be stroked to read “Original sound by (author’s name)”.
The name of the author and the title of the song in the audio track is displayed at the bottom of the screen as a ticker. And also as an image of the record in the lower right corner.
By clicking on it, you will go to a specialized section, where the following information is indicated at the top of the screen:
- artist and song title;
- link to artist profile;
- in the grid below, all Tik Tok videos that used this audio recording;
- Use this sound” button to create your own variation of an interesting clip with this composition.
In this case, various services and applications will help us find out what song is playing in the video.
