No, Viralsound is an independent music promotion tool and is not affiliated with TikTok. We provide a service that helps artists and labels promote their music on TikTok, but we are not owned or operated by TikTok.
To promote your sound on TikTok using Viralsound, your sound needs to be available on the TikTok platform. This means your sound must be added to TikTok either by a distributor or by a TikTok user.
TikTok user uploading a video including a sound
When you upload a video that contains audio, TikTok will create a sound snippet from it which can be accessed through the TikTok app or via a TikTok sound link.
You can change the name of the sound by tapping it when the video is uploaded.
Through a distributor
If you need help to upload your music to TikTok the official way, you can do this through a distributor.
Our partners DistroKid or DittoMusic will help you with this.

A TikTok sound is an excerpt of a song or other piece of audio available on the TikTok platform.
If it's a song, it was probably a distributor who added the sound to TikTok. If it's a voice or other piece of audio, the sound was probably recorded directly into the TikTok video, or added by a TikTok user who uploaded it from their phone's storage when creating a video in the TikTok app.
If your sound is available on TikTok
If your sound is available on TikTok, you can try to search for the name of the sound or the artist in the search bar in our campaign tool. Note that not all sounds can be found by our search tool, even though they’re available on TikTok.
If you can’t find the sound you’re looking for, you’ll need to copy the sound link from the TikTok platform and add it to your campaign. See the steps below on how to get your TikTok sound link:
📱Via TikTok app (mobile)
- Open the TikTok app and navigate to the searcharea
- Search for the artist and/or songname you wish to promote
- After searchresults appear, go the the Sounds tab and open your desired sound
- Tap the “share” button in the top right corner and then choose “copy link”
Done!
🖥️Via TikTok website (desktop)
- Make sure the sound has been used in a TikTok video
- Navigate to the specific video at tiktok.com and tap the sound in the right sidebar
- This will bring you to the soundpage which has an web address in this format: https://www.tiktok.com/music/sound-name-1234567890
- Copy the address, done!
