Royalty-Free Music for Instagram, Reels & TikTok
Trending audio disappears; licensed audio is yours. For brand accounts, creators, and anyone running paid social — where platform music libraries generally don't cover commercial use — a royalty-free song you actually licensed is the difference between an ad that runs and an ad that gets muted. These are original, human-written songs with vocals, each offering a one-time $99 royalty-free buyout on top of a base license.
Short-form editing is why the adaptive catalog fits social unusually well: the same song exists in several full productions at two intensities each, with live pitch and tempo controls. Cut your Reel to the stripped acoustic version, run the ad with the full production, keep one recognizable song across the whole campaign — one license, one certificate, no repost roulette.
Every song below currently offers the buyout. Audition free, check out once, download immediately.

Common questions
- Can I use these songs in paid social ads?
- Yes — that's the point of licensing rather than using platform libraries, which are typically limited to personal, organic posts. Your license and the royalty-free buyout cover commercial placements, documented on a certificate naming the song and writers.
- How is this different from Instagram's or TikTok's built-in music?
- Built-in libraries license music to the platform for personal use inside that app — not to you, and generally not for commercial use or use anywhere else. A Starchild license is yours: use the song across platforms, in ads, and in the full-length cut on YouTube.
- What does it cost?
- A base license starts at $30, and the royalty-free buyout is a one-time $99 on top. No subscription — you pay per song you actually use, and the grant is perpetual.
- Can I match the song's energy to my edit?
- Yes — every song is produced in multiple styles, each in a softer and a stronger take, with live pitch and tempo controls. Audition the exact energy against your cut before you buy.
