AI music for Reels, TikTok and Shorts
For Reels, TikTok and Shorts, the AI Song Generator Studio makes short, loopable cues and full songs whose hook arrives in the first seconds, and the video Studio turns a finished song into a lyric video or visualizer for vertical posts.

How it works
Decide the length first
Short clips usually run 15, 30 or 60 seconds. Set the cue to the length of the edit in Custom mode.
Put the hook up front
Ask for the main idea in the opening bar, not after a slow intro. People decide in a moment whether to keep watching.
Cut on the beat
Line cuts up with the kick or snare. A steady tempo makes that much easier.
Post with a visual
When the music itself is the post, render a lyric video or visualizer instead of a still image.
Hooks that work before the thumb moves
Short-form feeds give a clip almost no time to prove itself. Write prompts that front-load the interesting part instead of building toward it.
- Start on the beat or on the vocal line, never on silence or a long swell.
- Give the cue one memorable sound: a whistle, a vocal chop, a bass slide.
- Ask for a clear change around the halfway point to hold attention.
- End on something that can run straight back into the start.
Loopable 15 to 60 second cues
Most apps replay short videos automatically, so a cue that loops cleanly gets heard twice without an awkward restart. Ask for a loop-friendly cue with steady energy and no big ending, then check the join in your editor. Generated tracks are complete pieces, so expect to trim a beat or two at either end so the last bar flows into the first.
Trending sounds versus a sound of your own
Trending audio usually comes from the app's own music library and is meant to be used inside that app under its terms. It is not something to download and remake. An original sound made in the Studio works differently: you can reuse it across platforms within your plan and the Terms, and if other creators pick it up, the sound points back to your account.
The trade-off is momentum. An original sound starts with none, so pair it with a strong visual hook and post it more than once with different edits.
Matching the music to a vertical edit
Vertical edits move fast, often with a cut every one or two seconds. A tempo between about 100 and 130 BPM gives you a beat every half second or so, which makes cuts easy to snap. Ask for a clear downbeat, and keep the cue instrumental when a voiceover or on-screen narration carries the clip. When the music is the content, a sung chorus earns its place.
Turning a song into a vertical video
If you release songs, the video Studio turns a track from your library into a lyric video with timed words or an audio-reactive visualizer, with a vertical format for short-form posts; both are included from the Creator plan without AI credits. From the Pro plan, AI scene videos generate footage for each part of a song, priced in credits per scene.
