How to add 2 songs on TikTok

TikTok allows creators to be creative with sound, and while the app officially supports only one main audio per video, there are several simple ways to add two songs to a single TikTok. Whether you want to blend tracks, switch music halfway, or layer sounds for storytelling, this guide explains all the practical methods you can use.

Can You Add Two Songs Directly on TikTok?

TikTok does not have a single button that lets you select two songs at once. However, you can still add two songs by using TikTok’s built-in editing tools or by preparing your video with an external app before uploading.

The most common methods include:

• Trimming and switching sounds within TikTok
• Using the Voiceover feature
• Adding sounds in different clips
• Editing with a third-party app before posting

Method 1: Add Two Songs Using TikTok’s Sound and Volume Tools

This is the easiest method and works entirely inside TikTok.

Steps

1. Open TikTok and tap the plus (+) button to create a video.
2. Record your video or upload clips from your gallery.
3. Tap Add sound at the top and choose your first song.
4. Trim the sound so it plays only during part of the video.
5. Adjust the clip length so the music stops where you want.
6. Save the edit.
7. Now tap Edit and go to Volume.
8. Lower the main sound volume if needed.
9. Add a second song using Voiceover (explained below).

This method works best when one song plays first and the second one comes in later.

Method 2: Use the Voiceover Feature to Add a Second Song

TikTok’s Voiceover tool can be used to insert another song.

Steps

1. Create or upload your video.
2. Add your first song using Add sound.
3. Trim it to play in the first part of the video.
4. Tap Voiceover on the right-hand menu.
5. Play the second song on another device or from your phone.
6. Record it as a voiceover during the part of the video where you want it to play.
7. Adjust the volume levels so both songs sound balanced.

This method is popular for transitions or background effects.

Method 3: Add Two Songs Using Multiple Video Clips

TikTok allows different sounds for different clips within one video.

Steps

1. Tap the plus (+) button to create a video.
2. Record or upload the first clip.
3. Add your first song and trim it to fit the first clip.
4. Tap Add clip or upload another video segment.
5. Change the sound for the second clip by trimming the audio again.
6. Ensure each song plays only in its intended section.

This method is ideal for outfit changes, scene transitions, or storytelling videos.

Method 4: Use a Third-Party Editing App

If you want full control over how the two songs blend, using an external editor is the best option.

Popular Editing Apps

• CapCut
• InShot
• VN Editor
• iMovie

Steps

1. Open your chosen video editing app.
2. Import your video clips.
3. Add the first song and place it on the timeline.
4. Add the second song and position it where you want it to start.
5. Adjust volume levels and transitions.
6. Export the finished video.
7. Upload the video to TikTok.
8. If needed, lower the TikTok sound volume to avoid audio overlap.

This method produces the cleanest audio results.

Tips for Using Two Songs on TikTok

• Keep transitions smooth to avoid abrupt sound changes.
• Adjust volume levels so one song does not overpower the other.
• Choose songs that match the mood and pace of your video.
• Make sure both songs follow TikTok’s copyright rules.
• Test playback before posting to ensure audio sync is correct.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

Music Overlapping

Lower the volume of one track or trim the audio more precisely.

Second Song Sounds Too Low

Increase the voiceover or imported audio volume before posting.

Copyright Restrictions

If TikTok removes a sound, try using royalty-free music or editing externally and uploading as original audio.
