How to Add Two Songs to a TikTok Video

TikTok has become so popular lately that it takes a lot of creativity to stay ahead. Making videos with multiple songs is a great way to differentiate yourself from other content creators.

In this article, we’ll show you how you can add two or more songs to your TikTok video to create more interesting and engaging clips.

Add two songs to video using TikTok

To begin with, we will start with the simplest option. TikTok offers thousands of sounds and songs to make your videos more entertaining and attractive. Although the app doesn’t have a native feature to add more than one song at a time, you can still use the app to add multiple songs to a TikTok video.

How to add two sounds

Uploading TikTok videos is easy. But uploading TikTok videos with two or more songs requires a few extra steps. You can layer multiple songs or transition between the two. That is how:

1. Open TikTok and tap the plus sign at the bottom to create the first of two videos.
2. You can record something by holding down the red record button or upload a video to your phone’s camera roll by tapping the Upload option.
   
3. If you choose to upload a video, tap the video you want to use, and then tap Next in the background. Here you can trim your video and tap Next in the upper right corner.
   
4. Tap on sounds in the lower left corner.
   
5. Select the sound you would like to use. Then, tap anywhere on the screen to return to the original screen. Now, play Next advance.
   
6. make sure of that Save to device It is activated. Then touch Who can see this video?. Select Just me.
   
7. Publish your video. As long as you choose to make it visible only to you, no one will be able to see it.
8. Your video will now be saved to your phone’s camera roll.
9. Now we will upload the same video again (follow steps 1-3). Then, you can add another sound and proceed to upload your video with multiple sounds.
   

Both sounds will play at the same time by default, but you can trim and adjust the volume to perfect your most recent TikTok upload.

Adjust your sounds

To trim your video, tap the scissors icon on the sounds menu at the bottom. Slide the slider to where you would like to start the second song.

Then touch Volume to adjust the volume of the original video and new music.

Now you are ready to upload your TikTok video with more than one original sound.

Helpful tips

You may need a few minutes of playing with both videos to get them exactly right. Here’s what we learned when testing options for uploading a TikTok video with more than one sound:

• If you want to record with a transition (one song plays first and then the other), record the second sound first. Using the trimmer on the trim feature we mentioned earlier makes it easier to fix the sound of the reloaded video.
• Remove the original sound from the first video you upload. This will ensure that your final upload does not have any interference.
• Save songs to your TikTok Favorites folder so you can easily upload them again later.
• Your new video will have Tik Tok with your username somewhere on the screen. Use a sticker to cover it if you want.
  

Add multiple songs to TikTok using your own sounds

In this p, we will show you another solution to load multiple songs into one video using third-party apps.

Preparing the songs

The first thing you’ll need to do is find the songs you want to add to your TikTok video. Then, you will need to record them. Most mobile devices should have a screen recording feature that can get the job done. Newer iOS devices have a screen recorder in Control Center and most Android phones also come with screen recording. If your phone does not come with this feature, you can install a screen recording app for your phone. Alternatively, you can use a PC to capture those videos.

Please note that TikTok videos are limited to 15 seconds, 60 seconds, or 3 minutes, so capture song lengths appropriately.

Once you have a screen recorder ready, open a video of a song on YouTube or another video streaming site. Save those captures to your phone or transfer them to a PC for editing.

Putting the songs together

TikTok itself has very limited video editing tools. If you want to add two or more songs to a video, you’ll have to use a workaround. You can edit songs together using a third-party app. There are many of these available, whether for a phone or even a PC. What is needed is that the application you are using can join videos together so that you can make a continuous clip with more than one song.

Using a mobile app has the advantage of eliminating the need to transfer the video from your computer to your phone. The advantage of a PC is that you have better editing tools available. Pick and choose what you want. The most important thing is that the app you are using can cut and paste clips together.

If you have Android, you can try VidTrim or Easy Video Cutter, which have a high rating on the Google Play Store. If you are using iOS, maybe try giving in shot a try. Both Windows 10 and Mac already come with the Video Editor app and Apple iMovie respectively. If you have a favorite video editor, don’t hesitate to use it.

Once you’re done making a continuous clip with more than one song, you can now use it as a background for a new TikTok video. To do so, follow these steps:

1. If you are using a PC editor, make sure the clip you combined the songs into is saved on your mobile device.
2. Open TikTok and tap the + icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap Upload to the right of the Record button.
   
4. Choose the clip you combined your songs into and tap Next.
   
5. Tap Next. Here you can check if the clip you edited has been uploaded correctly. Once you’re sure, tap Next again.
   
6. You’ll only be using the audio from this clip, so it might be a good idea to keep it private. To do that, tap Who can see this video, then tap Private.
   
7. Tap Publish.
8. Return to your profile by tapping the Me icon in the lower right corner of the screen.
   
9. If you made the video private, tap the lock icon to view your private videos. Otherwise it will be on the album. Tap the uploaded video.
   
10. When the video plays, you’ll see a spinning icon at the bottom right of the screen. Touch it.
    
11. Tap Add to favorites, then tap OK. The audio clip is now saved for you to use in a new TikTok video.
    
12. Make a TikTok video. Use the + button on the next screen to open the recording screen. Tap Record, then tap the check mark when you’re done.
    
13. Tap the Sounds icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.
    
14. Tap the Favorites tab.
    
15. Tap your video clip that has the multiple songs you want to use.
    
16. If you want to edit the clip further, simply tap the screen above the menu. You can adjust the volume, trim both sound and video, add voice effects or add filters.
17. Once you’re done, tap Next. Then select publishing options. Tap Post to upload the video. Your multi-song TikTok clip is now available for everyone to see.
    

Frequent questions

We have created this p to answer some of the most frequently asked questions from our readers.

Will TikTok let me use any song I want?

Unfortunately, you may not be able to use the song you really want. For starters, TikTok has community guidelines that may restrict certain NSFW content. Secondly, you may have copyright issues. If the latter happens, your video will be published anyway; it will simply have no sound and will display a title stating that the sound was removed for copyright.

What are the best third-party apps to add two TikTok songs?

If you find the above methods too tedious, you can use third-party apps to combine songs into a TikTok video. CapCut is free and many renowned TikTok creators love it. InShot is another great app that allows you to combine two songs for one TikTok video.

Create your sounds in the third-party app, save them to your phone, and then you can upload them to TikTok.
