Free." url: __ORIGIN__/tiktok-song language: en updated: 2026-10-20 --- # Make a song for TikTok and Reels Short videos need a hook that lands in the first seconds. Make a short song built around one catchy line, then turn it into a vertical video with the lyrics on screen. **[Make your song free](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=Catchy+upbeat+pop+song+with+a+one-line+hook+everyone+can+sing%2C+about+Monday+mornings&style=Pop&mood=Happy)** (No account needed · 10 free minutes of music a day) ## Start with the hook Write one short line people will want to sing and put it under [Chorus] in My lyrics. Or describe the hook and let the AI write it. ## Keep it short Choose 30 seconds or 1 minute, so the song gets to the chorus fast. When the lyrics have real timing, Share as video starts the clip just before the chorus. ## Post a video, not just a sound Share as video makes a 15, 30 or 60-second portrait clip with the cover, the words and moving bars. Instagram doesn't accept WebM videos, and the dialog tells you if your browser can only make those. ## Check each platform's rules TikTok, Instagram and YouTube each have their own rules for AI-made content and for music in posts, and many ask you to label AI-generated content. Check them before you post. ## Ideas to try Press an idea and Create opens with it filled in. Change anything you like before you make the song. - [A catchy dance hook about my cat judging my outfits](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=A+catchy+dance+hook+about+my+cat+judging+my+outfits&style=Pop&mood=Energetic) - [A dramatic phonk beat for a car edit](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=A+dramatic+phonk+beat+for+a+car+edit&style=Phonk&mood=Dark&instrumental=1) - [A funny K-pop song about forgetting my headphones](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=A+funny+K-pop+song+about+forgetting+my+headphones&style=K-pop&mood=Happy) - [A short, sweet acoustic song for a couple's anniversary post](__ORIGIN__/create?idea=A+short%2C+sweet+acoustic+song+for+a+couple%27s+anniversary+post&style=Acoustic&mood=Romantic) ## How it works 1. Write your hook, or describe the song and what the video is about. 2. Pick 30 seconds or 1 minute and press Create. 3. Open the song and choose Share as video. 4. Save the clip and post it, with the platform's AI label if it asks for one. ## Questions ### Can my song become a sound other people use? That's up to each platform and how it handles sounds. Publishing the song on LimeWire.fm also gives people a link to the full song and your artist page. ### Why is my video a WebM file? It depends on the browser: LimeWire.fm makes an MP4 when the browser can and WebM otherwise. If you get WebM and want to post on Instagram, try another browser. ### Can it sound like a famous singer? It doesn't copy real artists. If you name one, the AI gets a description of the general sound instead, such as "dark synth-pop with a falsetto male voice", and song titles can't name real artists. ### Can I use the songs commercially? LimeWire.fm's terms let you use songs you make, including commercially, as far as the law and the AI model's licence allow. AI-generated music may not be protected by copyright in some countries, so for big projects check the rules where you live. ### Is it really free? Yes. Make 10 minutes of music a day without an account, or 30 minutes a day with a free account. No credit card, no trial. Free listening has a short break for LimeWire Pro every few songs. ## More ideas - [Song to video](__ORIGIN__/song-to-video) - [YouTube intro music](__ORIGIN__/youtube-intro-music) - [Music for videos](__ORIGIN__/ai-music-for-videos) - [Phonk songs](__ORIGIN__/ai-phonk-song-generator) --- Made with LimeWire AI: every song on LimeWire.fm is made with AI.
