So, how do you access it, and more importantly, is the feature any good?
Let’s find out.
At the time of writing, TikTok is still rolling out this feature to its users as an experiment.
When the recorder opens, check above the capture button; it should sayPhotos.
To record a video, tap on either10m,60s, or15s.
This sets TikTok to record either a 10-minute, one-minute, or 15-second long video.
The AI Song tool works on any of these options, so pick the one you want.
Now it’s time to make a video.
Start by hitting the redRecordbutton.
If you just want to test out the AI Song feature, record a throwaway video.
Once you’ve recorded a video, tap thecheckmarkicon to see your video.
At the top, you’ll see the sound for your video.
TikTok will sometimes automatically assign a sound to your video.
If it doesn’t sayAdd Soundat the top, tap theXto the right of the sound.
Then, tap onAdd Sound.
TikTok will open a library of sounds for you to try.
At the top of the list, look forAI Song.
If you’re free to’t see it, it’s not available for you at this time.
If you do, tap on it to initiate the AI Song feature.
In the new window, pop in in what song you’d like TikTok to generate.
The feature can work with whatever prompt you want to throw at it, so get imaginative.
Just focus on giving AI Song a prompt to write lyrics about and let it do the rest.
Submit your prompt and wait for TikTok to generate the song.
Once it’s done, you might switch between different genres using the genre tabs.
Once you find the song you like, tapDoneto add it as a sound to your video.
Is TikTok’s AI Song Feature Any Good?
I gave the feature a try for myself and uploaded my findings above.
Unfortunately, the results were pretty disappointing.
Across each of the prompts, the singing sounded pretty awful and robotic.
