No problem! We can help you change that.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Distributing your music to TikTok can be essential to finding growth as an artist. At RouteNote, we provide independent artists with the same tools as the most popular musicians and labels in the world. With RouteNote, <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-add-my-music-to-tiktok-for-free\/\">artists of any size can upload their music to TikTok for free.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right portion of your audio to be available on TikTok can be the difference between finding viral fame or not. When you upload to TikTok through RouteNote, the track will be clipped to one minute (unless your track is shorter than 60 seconds) and will automatically start from 29 seconds in. However, we can change this for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to change the start time of your song on TikTok<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating your release with RouteNote, you&#8217;ll be taken to the track metadata page. From there, you can preview your audio and select the exact start time you want for TikTok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your track has been approved, you can still make changes. Simply head to your discography, select your release, and click edit to update the start time of your track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"767\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107531 lazyload\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/can-i-add-my-music-to-tiktok-for-free\/\">Find out how to upload your music to TikTok for free here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to RouteNote, my release is on TikTok, but the track starts at the wrong point.
