About the Commercial Music Library

Last updated: February 2025

The TikTok Commercial Music Library (CML) is a pre-cleared global music library of 1 million songs that helps make it easier for businesses to find music to soundtrack their content on TikTok. This library includes all styles, genres, and regions, with songs sourced from independent and emerging artists, as well as top-tier music houses, free for businesses to use.


Commercial music licensing

Businesses cannot use the general music library for commercial usage. Businesses should instead use the Commercial Music Library for all commercial TikTok activities, including:

  • Organic content, including a duet, react, or stitch with user videos

  • Video ads

  • Branded content

Note: If you choose to use original sound from other users or other licensed sounds in your organic or paid content, consult your legal team to ensure you have obtained a proper license.
