The scoop
TikTok's general music library is not licensed for commercial use. For organic business posts, ads and branded content, TikTok says businesses should use the Commercial Music Library, a pre-cleared library of 1 million songs that is free for businesses.
This matters for UGC creators. If you're posting paid or gifted brand content, use a song from the Commercial Music Library or original audio to stay on the safe side.
