TikTok has officially expanded its “Add to Music App” feature by integrating YouTube Music, giving creators, artists, and fans a seamless way to connect music discovery with streaming.
What Is the “Add to Music App” Feature?
Launched in the US and UK in November 2023, TikTok’s “Add to Music App” lets users save songs they discover on TikTok directly to their favorite streaming service. With just one tap on the “Add Song” button, fans can instantly add tracks to their personal playlist, keeping the music experience connected across platforms.
YouTube Music Joins the Lineup
As of July 29, YouTube Music has been added to the growing list of supported services. Now, when users select “Add Song,” they can automatically save it to the TikTok Songs playlist inside their YouTube Music account.
This integration not only strengthens artist visibility but also makes it easier for fans to keep track of the music they love. Independent musicians can benefit even more if they publish their tracks through a free music distribution service, making their songs available on major platforms like YouTube Music, Spotify, and Apple Music.
A Growing Global Feature
Since launch, TikTok’s “Add to Music App” has already generated over one billion saved songs, resulting in billions of extra streams across supported platforms.
With YouTube Music on board, the feature now supports:
- Spotify
- Apple Music
- SoundCloud
- Deezer
- Melon
- Amazon Music
- YouTube Music (new)
Users can set their preferred streaming service directly inside the TikTok app, making it a highly customizable experience.
Why This Matters for Artists and Fans
For artists, this feature means wider global reach, more streams, and stronger fan engagement. And with the help of a free music distribution service, independent musicians have the chance to get their music discovered on TikTok and instantly saved into playlists across all major streaming platforms.
For fans, it means an effortless way to keep up with the tracks they discover while scrolling.
The partnership between TikTok and YouTube Music is another step forward in breaking the barrier between music discovery and music streaming, ensuring that viral hits and underground gems are just one tap away from your playlist.
