The new social music streaming service will play on TikTok’s power to help users discover new music by helping them to enjoy their favourite trending songs on TikTok Music, giving subscribers the ability to listen, download, and share full songs with their community, and switch from TikTok to TikTok Music with ease.

The features of the music streaming service include providing users with the ability to easily sync their TikTok and TikTok Music accounts, listen to full versions of trending songs on TikTok, discover more personalised music, connect with a music community, engage with real-time song lyrics, creative collaborative track lists and more.

Users will also be able to import their external music playlists into TikTok Music, find out what songs they are listening to though a song catch feature, listen to music offline and discover new and up-coming artists and musicians.

Through this premium-only subscription service, TikTok Music aims to offer a high-quality listening experience to users while also increasing opportunities and revenue for artists and copyright holders, it said.

Ole Obermann, the global head of music business development at TikTok noted that he sees a lot of opportunities on TikTok Music for fans and musicians and noted the potential it has to drive significant value in the music industry.

According to a spokesperson from TikTok, more news on the launch of TikTok Music will be made in the coming months.

The news comes months after it was revealed that TikTok’s parent company ByteDance had been drawing up plans with music labels about expanding its music-streaming service globally bringing the heat against streaming giant Spotify.
