5 Trending Sounds on TikTok to Apply to Your Industry (May 2023)

1. Trend: Is It An Addiction? 

This trending sound is perfect for everyone — brands, small businesses, influencers, etc. Creators are currently using this sound on TikTok to show off something they’re “addicted” to.

As a creator or influencer, you can use it to show something you’re currently obsessed with that fits into your niche (an exercise you’ve been doing, a take out menu item you can’t stop ordering, makeup or nail polish you’re using, etc.). As a business owner, you could use this sound to showcase some of your new products or services that you think customers will be obsessed with. Here’s a great example from an ecommerce account:

2. Trend: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

This trending sound is so easy because you don’t even have to film any video, if you don’t feel like it. This is one of those trends that’s perfectly suited for images, as well as video. Creators are using this background music along with images/video and text on-screen to show something that they do or feel every day… and they don’t plan on stopping.

As an influencer, you can use this as a funny, light-hearted video to poke fun at your own habits (i.e. “bought myself a little yesterday, bought myself a little treat today, will buy myself a little treat tomorrow.”). As a brand or business owner, you can use it to highlight a product or reference the habits you have as an entrepreneur or business owner (i.e. “answered 25 emails yesterday, today, etc.”). Here’s an example from a well-known brand.

3. Trend: That’s Interesting

This trending TikTok sound uses an audio clip pulled from the television show Parks and Rec. The original clip features Adam Scott’s character from the show, Ben Wyatt, in an uncomfortable confrontation saying, “Okay, well, that’s interesting. You know why?”. When Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) asks why, Ben responds, “Because…” before promptly running away. 

Creators and influencers are using this funny sound to depict a situation where they felt confronted and had no valid response or wanted to run away from a situation. As a business owner, you can also use this sound to highlight an annoying question relevant to your niche or industry or a time in your business journey when you wanted to run away and hide. Here’s a great example from an author:

4. Trend: I Love It

Originating from a Kim Kardashian clip, it’s no wonder this trending sound has currently been used 16.3K times on TikTok. In that original clip, Kim is saying during an interview, “I love it, I mean I’m so passionate about it, and it’s what I do.” This is a great sound because you can use it for a humorous TikTok or in a more serious way.

Some creators and influencers are using it in a tongue-in-cheek way to joke about something they really don’t love (like in this example). But you can also use it as a business owner to show off your products or services and how passionate you are about them. Here’s a great example of using it to showcare a product:

5. Trend: Bad Blood

This one is rising quickly on TikTok, especially considering that the audio itself just occurred in real-time a few days ago at a Taylor Swift concert. In the original clip, Taylor Swift is addressing an issue happening off-stage between a security guard and a concertgoer. In between lyrics of her song Bad Blood, she yells multiple times at the security guard, saying “She’s fine… she wasn’t doing anything… hey, stop!”. 

Influencers, creators, and brands alike are making fantastic use of this audio. It’s a good one to use in a video addressing an issue or confrontation specific to your niche or industry, allowing you to highlight a real problem while maintaining some decent levity. Here’s a great example from an eye doctor that currently has over 500K likes:
