In recent years, TikTok has been known to revive and popularise numerous older songs, bringing them back to the forefront and making them hugely popular with a new, younger audience.
And it looks like the platform isn’t stopping there when it comes to putting sound first, as they announce their music option expansion with their new SoundCloud integration.
Not only will this allow users to explore an abundance of music to use in their content, but it will also provide more opportunities for emerging artists to become centre-stage.
The new integration is labelled as the ‘Add to Music App’ feature on the platform and originally launched on some beta accounts in 2024. Since, billions of streams and billions of track saves have been generated and users can now make the most of the musical collaboration.
For users to try it for themselves, they need to click the ‘Add Song’ button next to a track name at the bottom of a TikTok video in their For You Feed. When first pressed, the user will get the choice to save it to their SoundCloud, or onto their preferred music streaming channel.
