How to Add Multiple Sounds or Two Songs on TikTok

TikTok doesn’t natively support adding two or more songs to a single video. However, you can still layer multiple sounds by using simple workarounds—like merging audio tracks first or using third-party editors. In this guide, we’ll show you step by step how to add two songs or multiple sounds on the TikTok app, as well as how to do it online.

How to Add Two Songs or Multiple Sounds on TikTok App

If the songs or sound effects you want are stored on your computer, you can visit TikTok's official webpage to upload the video, avoiding hassles of transferring files to your phone. You can also find music from free music sites or search for creative commons music on YouTube.

Basic idea:

• Combine two songs or multiple sounds into one video.
• Post the video on TikTok temporarily.
• Tap the original music icon to add it as a favorite.

You can then use this custom music in your next video by tapping Use this sound.

Let's go step-by-step:

Step 1. Merge two or more songs using a video editing app

Most mobile TikTok video editing apps support adding background music. You can use the app you normally have, or install InShot for iOS or Android:

1. 1. Launch InShot and tap the Video icon to create a new project.
2. 2. Add a video clip or photo to the timeline. Content is flexible; use one or multiple photos to extend video length for the music. Stretch photos on the timeline to match your song duration (max 10s per photo in InShot).
3. 3. Add music by tapping the Music icon. Options include:
   • Extract audio from a video in the camera roll
   • Import music from other apps
   • Add music from the Files app
   • AirDrop from Mac
   • Access iTunes / Apple Music tracks
4. Edit tracks: add another song, drag tracks above/below, and apply fade-in/out effects. Layer sound effects if needed.
5. Export the video by tapping the share icon to save it to your camera roll.

Tips: iOS may ask for photo access—allow it to import videos. Android users can follow the same steps with any compatible editor.

Step 2. Upload the video with multiple sounds to TikTok

1. 1. Tap the + plus icon at the bottom.
2. 2. Tap the camera roll thumbnail next to the recorder icon.
3. 3. Scroll and find the video with music, then hit Next.
4. 4. If the video is longer than 60s, select the part to keep.
5. 5. Tap Next, add a description, and set privacy to Everyone. (Private videos prevent saving the music as favorite.)
6. 6. Tap Post.

Step 3. Add the merged music to favorite

1. 1. Go to your profile by tapping the Me icon.
2. 2. Swipe down to refresh your feed, and tap the newly uploaded video.
3. 3. Play the video, tap the music note icon at the bottom, which shows original sound. You can also tap the CD icon.
4. 4. Mark the music as your favorite.

Since the music is merged in one video, TikTok treats it as a single track.

Step 4. Use the music track with multiple songs in your next video

1. Record or import a new video.
2. Tap the Sounds icon.
3. Go to the Favorites tab instead of Discover to select your custom merged track.

FAQs

How to fix TikTok original music not working?

If tapping the original music title or disk icon does nothing, check your video’s privacy. Set it to public, private videos prevent saving uploaded music as your favorite, so making it public usually fixes the issue.

How do I use a song that isn’t available in my country?

If a song shows a "not available" warning, check its license. Creative Commons tracks can be downloaded from online sources and uploaded yourself. Alternatively, switch your account region to a place where the song is accessible.

Can you have two songs on TikTok without third-party apps?

Yes, with a workaround: merge two videos with different music from your camera roll into one upload. Post publicly, play it, then save the combined audio as your favorite for reuse in future videos.

Why isn’t my uploaded audio showing in Favorites?

Sometimes the app delays syncing new audio. Make sure the video is posted publicly, refresh your profile, and check the Favorites tab. Logging out and back in can also make recently added tracks appear.

Can I trim or adjust merged songs directly in TikTok?

TikTok allows basic trimming of a single track, but for multiple songs, the app doesn’t support detailed timing adjustments. Using editors like CapCut or InShot first is recommended for precise layering before uploading.
