TikTok recently announced that it is testing an innovative feature dubbed “AI Song,” which allows users to create unique songs using artificial intelligence.
This experimental tool, which is only available to a limited number of users, uses Bloom, a powerful language model, to generate lyrics depending on user input.
The business has stressed that AI Song is aimed at entertainment purposes rather than to generate viral hits.
Jonah Manzano, a TikTok user, offered a tour of the new feature, explaining its usage. Users are asked to provide particular text suggestions, such as “going to concerts,” “a new beginning “or” cuddling with pets.”
The program then uses artificial intelligence to construct lyrics that correlate to the supplied prompt, combining them with music from TikTok’s pre-saved collection. Users may change the song’s feel by selecting from genres such as “pop,” “EDM,” and “hip-hop.”

It’s important to note that TikTok has set certain standards for utilizing AI Song, including the restriction on abusing or injuring kids, distributing false information, or engaging in behaviors that may libel or harass others.
The business also suggested that the feature’s name might change in the future.
While the widespread adoption of AI-generated music is questionable, TikTok is not the only site testing AI-generated music capabilities.
YouTube released its “Dream Track” tool a few months ago, which allows producers to create 30-second AI-generated soundtracks that mimic the styles of various artists.
TikTok’s move into AI-generated music is consistent with the company’s overall music strategy. The platform’s parent firm, ByteDance, previously released a free music production software named “Ripple” in the United States.
Ripple uses machine learning to convert user-recorded melodies into instrumental tracks, hence expanding TikTok’s presence in the music production field.
Furthermore, TikTok has made tremendous inroads in the music industry, launching its subscription-based music streaming service, “TikTok Music,” in select regions last year.
Although information regarding its U.S. launch is unknown, a trademark registration filed by ByteDance hints that the service may make its debut there shortly.
