What’s Hot This Week: 5 Trending TikTok Songs to Spark Your Creativity

Continuously generating engaging social media content can be energy-draining. We get it. That’s why we’ve done (almost) all the heavy lifting for you by hunting down TikTok’s trending songs. Plus, we’ve included some ideas on how to use these sounds for your content so you can start creating easy, viral videos right after you finish reading this blog post.

1. 🎶 I Can Do It With a Broken Heart - Taylor Swift

‍

Taylor Swift just released her highly anticipated album, The Tortured Poets Department, and of course, her new songs are blowing up all over TikTok. But this one particular line struck a chord with creators: “I cry a lot, but I am so productive. It’s an art.” If you’ve ever felt like life’s piling it on, yet you still somehow manage to stay on top of things, give this trend a shot, like, right now!

‍

How to use the sound. It pairs perfectly with a clip of you in your element—working on the computer, tackling your college assignment, juggling chores with kids. Any snippet of your daily hustle will do. Add some text like “STEM girlies anthem,” “working mom vibes,” or “me every day at my corporate 9 to 5 job”, and you’re ready to roll! Alternatively, if you’re after a quick, relatable video with viral potential, simply film yourself lip-syncing the line with some text overlay.

‍

⚡Pro Tip: If you want to go a little extra mile with the visuals, make a time-lapse video of yourself working. Mix it up with some moves other than typing to keep it interesting. Do a little stretch, get up and walk around, sip on your coffee, and so on. 

2. 🎶 Divine Failure - Elsooyer

‍

We love it when atmospheric ambient music hits the top trends. It’s super versatile and fits perfectly into so many different niches. This audio is getting particularly big in Europe, with themes like scenery, photography, and travel. Business accounts can check out this alternative tune with a similar mood.

‍

How to use the sound. Pair it with aesthetic videos or carousel photos of your home, studio, or shop. Make it a POV video with beautiful scenery, like “POV: you wake up like this in [your location].” It goes well with cooking and “get ready with me” videos. You can also use it to showcase your products in a natural, serene setting. The possibilities here are indeed endless!

3. 🎶 Black Beauty - Lana Del Rey

‍

An oldie but a goldie. This throwback tune from 2014 seems to be making a TikTok comeback, with a 39% growth rate in just a few days. It’s often featured in the trend “When my daughter comes to me with tears in her eyes saying..”. It can be an easy content idea for influencer parents. But you can also put your own spin on it, saying “my future daughter,” and use the trend to talk about mental health or relationship woes.

‍

How to use the sound. All you need is a 10–12 second close-up selfie video of yourself. But honestly, visuals take a back seat here—the real star is the text. Take some time to craft a message that would truly hit home with your followers. 

‍

⚡Pro Tip: Add a touch of drama with a slo-mo effect. If you’re using an iPhone, swipe to the slow-mo recording mode in the camera app. For optimal results, adjust the frame rate in your camera settings by tapping Settings → Camera → Record Slo-mo.

4. 🎶 Tell Ur GF - Lay Bankz

‍

This upbeat tune has made a big leap straight into the top five trending songs. With over 9 thousand videos featuring it in the last 24 hours alone, it’s definitely making waves. Lately, it’s been a hit in the “Your standards are so high trend,” where you share what percentage of men or women around the USA meet your dating criteria. 

‍

How to use the sound. Start with a selfie photo in the first carousel slide, add some text overlay, and then include a screenshot of your results from the Keeper AI calculator tool in the next slide. Easy-peasy!

5. 🎶 Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter

‍

The song has everything it takes to become TikTok’s next big hit: a catchy tune that’s bound to get stuck in your head and have you humming it on repeat, simple yet memorable lyrics, and coffee references that’ll make all the coffee lovers out there go woop, woop. This is definitely going to be the soundtrack of summer 2024, so don’t sleep on it. 

‍

How to use the sound. What’s great about this sound is its versatility—it’s a perfect match for all sorts of content ideas. Share your OOTD, makeup routine, or latest thrift store finds. Take your followers on a tour of your neighborhood or create a hairstyle tutorial. These are just a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing. And if you feel like none of your videos right now pass the song’s vibe check, save it for feel-good summer vacation recaps.
