(October 1, 2025) TikTok viral songs and sounds
Cats in the cold by mage tears
This TikTok sound is mostly used in cute cat videos, but you can use it in any pet video or to showcase a chill, cozy activity, moment, or even memes like the example below.
As long as you match the vibe of the sound, you’ll be fine.
Unlock it x better off alone by YeehawBrotherrrrr
This song mashup has a bit of chaotic energy. On my feed, I’ve seen it in image carousels where people share work mistakes. In the example below, a recruiting agency went around the office showcasing errors, like an email where someone wrote “I’ll update you shorty” instead of “shortly.”
The sound is fun, so definitely save this one for memes, funny, relatable skits, or even behind-the-scenes content your audience will enjoy.
There she goes by Cyril Riley & MOONLGHT
Did you hear that a shimmy a day keeps the sad away? Well, now you know. Most people film themselves doing silly moves to this song mashup, and now you can put your own spin on it, too.
No specific choreography needed, just feel the rhythm.

Santo & Johnny’s version of “And I Love Her” has gone viral on TikTok, with people using it for everything from cute couple clips to funny videos like the one below.
The song’s dreamy, instrumental vibe makes it great for smooth transitions like outfit changes or room makeovers, and lots of creators are also using it as a chill background for storytelling.
Hard times by Paramore
Paramore’s “Hard Times” has gone viral on TikTok, with creators using it for everything from high-energy edits and dance trends to colorful transitions. It’s also become a go-to for joking about small, relatable problems. For instance, look at this carousel that begins with “Why does my back hurt?” and flips through photos of weird desk positions.
The upbeat, playful vibe of the song makes it the perfect soundtrack for everyday struggles.
Scott Street (Slowed Down) by Phoebe Bridgers
On TikTok, people use “Scott Street” by Phoebe Bridgers to give their videos a nostalgic or heartfelt mood.
But don’t let the vibe fool you, people also use it to make fun of relatable letdowns, like going to a coworker to gossip, only to get shut down because they’re busy with work. Ugh!
The song is also great for sharing memories, cute routines like making tea or doing a craft on a rainy day, or capturing a happy moment.
Original sound by Schmidt Insurance Group
This sound is a snippet from one of Beyoncé’s documentaries, where she talks about her work ethic and says she’s like a machine. People took it and ran with it, joking about the silly things that make them feel productive, like answering a few emails in a row without checking TikTok. Now that’s dedication!
Original sound by Letterboxd
Charli XCX’s own remix of her song “Everything Is Romantic” is making its rounds on TikTok, especially the part where the lyrics “fall in love again and again” are on repeat. It’s mostly used in an inspirational way, for example, showing progress at the gym or the evolution of skills and work.
In the example featured below, the creator cuts to the many paintings “hidden” within their artwork.
The fast cuts and jumps between paintings match the pace of the song and make the video more impactful while showcasing the work.
La Maritza by Sylvie Vartan
On TikTok, people use “La Maritza” by Sylvie Vartan to add a retro and romantic vibe to their videos. It’s popular for outfit transitions, vintage-themed edits, and travel clips.
One example from a lash artist that stood out is a carousel showing all the beautiful lashes she did on her clients.
Instead of using normal photos, she edited the eyes onto cats to protect the privacy of her more shy clients. Funny and creative!
Original sound by ToxicSLUDGE1HUNNA
“Whole Lotta Something Goin’ On” by Raphael Ravenscroft is a smooth, dramatic saxophone track that people use on TikTok to exaggerate funny moments of realization or regret. For example, when your boss says they’ll handle a problem, but it turns out to be your job.
In these videos, creators often react by putting their hand on their head, collapsing to their knees, or making an over-the-top expression while the saxophone plays, making the video feel more dramatic.
