TikTok Songwriter Features aim to boost credit, discovery, and careers for songwriters.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TikTok gives songwriters their moment with new features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TikTok<\/a> is launching a new set of ‘TikTok Songwriter Features<\/a>‘ in beta designed specifically for songwriters, giving music creators a bigger platform to showcase their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the new features? Songwriters can now sign up for an official Songwriter Account. This adds a ‘Songwriter’ label to their profile, helping users easily identify who\u2019s behind the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, a new ‘Songwriter Music Tab’ will live on their profiles, enabling songwriters to showcase the tracks they\u2019ve written or co-written and gain visibility around them. This makes it easier for fans, artists, and those in the industry to explore a songwriter\u2019s catalogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built after songwriter feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TikTok says the updates were shaped by direct feedback from the songwriting community. The platform surveyed 871 songwriters and conducted 18 in-depth interviews to better understand their needs, before TikTok decided that it wanted to \u201cimprove discovery, monetisation opportunities\u201d for songwriters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rollout aligns with a recent MIDiA Research report <\/a>which revealed that building a social media following is of great importance to songwriters. Over 80% of songwriters now use social media to grow their careers, with 53% using TikTok specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are passionately committed to supporting songwriters at TikTok, which is why we built these tools to celebrate and elevate songwriters\u2026 helping them to tell stories about their music, their craft, and their lives, and to raise their profile and build their audience on TikTok, as hundreds of thousands of artist creators already do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>Jordan Lowy, Global Head of Music Publishing Licensing and Partnerships at TikTok<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A growing TikTok toolkit for music creators<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

TikTok is renowned as a platform for music discovery<\/a>. These new songwriter features are the latest acknowledgment of that, building upon recent initiatives geared toward artists and music professionals. Earlier this year, TikTok launched TikTok for Artists<\/a>, which helps artists monitor insights surrounding their tracks. Other tools include its \u2018Add to Music App<\/a>\u2019 feature that lets users save songs to their preferred streaming platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
