Communicating emotion

Emotive content performs better. We can use music to communicate the emotional theme and message of the video. This enhances the message and delivery of it. It is also vital for quality content and messaging.

Assists in delivering quality content, quickly

With TikTok, you have a small window to make a lasting impact with short-form videos. Therefore, you must use every tool in the TikTok playbook to create and deliver the meaning and messages of your content through every medium possible. Music conveys messages, tone, emotion and so much more in a short period of time. It also enhances the content, supporting these elements. Therefore, music is the perfect tool and accessory for this. 

How to implement TikTok songs more effectively

Lip-syncing

Countless TikTok lip-syncing videos have gone viral, like this example of Bella Poarch lip-syncing to ‘M to the B’ by Millie B. This video received over 60 million likes and more than 743 million views. Creators such as Bella pick trending or catchy songs to lip-sync to. They add their personal touch to create a viral sensation.

Emotive Content

Please dont judge me I’m in my most vulnerable state and just needing to vent😔 #emotions #sadhearted #drainedmentally #broken

♬ original sound – Avia❤️‍🩹

Content that conveys emotions well is more engaging. TikTok songs greatly assist in communicating emotion. Assess the emotion you are trying to convey and find a track that induces or enhances that. In this example, the lyrics, rhythm, and vibe of the song by Avia drive home the emotion behind the message. In fact, in this case, it is the message on a whole other level.

Just another filter

Treat TikTok songs as just another filter. They add dimension, layers, and flavor to an otherwise bland or one-dimensional video. It is part of the storytelling/content-creating process. Don’t overthink it, listen and feel for what feels authentic and appropriate. In this example, Kacie is styling her daughter’s hair. She uses background music to fill in the blank spaces. This makes for a more cohesive video with layers that complete and enhance it.

Set the tone

TikTok songs quickly convey the genre or content category, from comedy to tragedy. It removes any ambiguity or messages that can be lost in translation. Sometimes emotion and tone can be misinterpreted. Using the right music can set the tone immediately and effectively. This example conveys how the music used aligns with the genre, especially since there isn’t any dialogue, narration, or caption in the video.
