How to find background music that suits your video
If you’re not sure how to start the search for the perfect audio track, ask yourself these questions first:
1. What is your video’s message?
To find the right background track for your video, identify the style of video you’re creating. Are you advertising a product, sharing learning sessions, or creating an informative video for social media? Determine the goal of your video to narrow down the search.
2. What is the role of the music in your video?
Choose whether your background music supports your video and builds emotion or just a lovely background tune. The audio track should match your video's tempo, tone, and pace.
3. What is your video’s mood?
Next is to determine the mood of your video and which genre best fits your mood. If you’re creating a soft video showcasing a sunset, we recommend pairing your video with a relaxing, peaceful track. But if you’re building hype around a new release, we recommend selecting an upbeat anthem. Choose from country, jazz, indie rock, metal, and more in our royalty-free stock audio library.
4. Does this track speak to your audience?
Always consider the demographic of your audience and what genre resonates with them and your video. Selecting an appropriate track is key to booming video audio.
5. Is the audio track royalty-free?
Suppose you’re planning to upload your video to social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram, make sure to remove any copyrighted music and use royalty-free background music to avoid having your video copyrighted and even removed. Royalty-free music are audio tracks you can use for personal and commercial use without paying royalties to the artist.
