What is trending audio?

This week's trending audio for Instagram Reels and how to use them
Original audio - jun_yuh
You can use this audio to debunk how easy it is to do your job. In the first clip, you can do something generic and add a statement people make to minimize your work. For example: “It must be so easy to make TikToks all day”. Once the beat drops you can either add a montage of different versions of you working or you can keep it simple by adding one sped-up clip of yourself working. You simply have to add the caption “my easy”. Check out Jun’s (@jun_yuh) “easy” moment.
The Free Label - everybody wants to rule the world - freelabellove
If you have been looking for a nice copyright-free audio to use as a background for your Reels you can use this one by The Free Label. It is a cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World. No 14 Boutique (@no14boutique) made a nice vlog using this sound.
Your vibe - fritzflat
This trend is making a comeback. You can use “if this is your vibe” to find your tribe online. If you are a product-based business, it is a great opportunity to showcase your product and aesthetic. Sydney (@myscatteredjoy) showcases her style for interior design in her video.
Original Audio - callitwhatyouwant.podcast
What is something you used to do but don’t do anymore? You can use this sound to highlight it. All you need is one take of you lipsyncing “she's no longer with us” with the words “the version of me that used to (insert what you used to do)”. You can take a look at Bex (@life.w.bex) version of this trending sound.
You'll be fine🫶 - sophia.castiblanco
If you’re still hesitating on using this sound, this is your sign to use it. It has been trending for weeks now and doesn’t seem like it’s going away anytime soon. You can simply use a regular clip and add text sharing a wholesome moment while the lyrics “Just trust me you'll be fine” are playing. Or if you want to take it a step further you can share some truths regarding your industry that people might not know. Take a look at how Sam (@kinda_healthy_sam) is sharing her own variation of the trend.
This week's trending audio for TikTok and how to use them
“How old are you?” “I’m 20” - Danielle Lim
Work is one of the places where you can become friends with people from different age groups. Pick and co-worker and use this sound to poke fun at your age gap however big or small it is. The older co-worker can start off by saying “How old are you?” the younger one can reply “I’m 20”. Pan the camera back to the older coworker being shocked at their age. Here’s a great example by @asseenonsaroop.
No one has made this dramatic of a change yet by Jojo Siwa – Sugg.ting
JoJo Siwa has been dominating our FYPs with her new song Karma. There's a lot of content out there that you could use, but probably the most notable is an interview where JoJo describes her new look and brand by saying "no one has made this dramatic of a change yet." To incorporate this into your social strategy, show a before and after of your product, a minor achievement, or just a spicy take. It's up to you whether you want to approach this trend in a sarcastic or honest way. @freckle.digital used the trending audio to show marketers moving between the fun, lifestyle marketing girly to the data girly.
Calvin Roux by Snowdream - Snowdream
The bulletproof trend it back! This is a super easy trend to hop on. All you have to do is use a clip of yourself adding the text "You think you can hurt me? [insert something you went through or are going through that is giving you thicker skin]". Check out Nell's bulletproof moment.
“Omg, show it to me please, show it to me Rachel” – Colby
Do you have something you *need* people to see? Here’s your chance! This trending TikTok audio is the perfect opportunity for your brand to showcase a new product, look, office space, team member, influencer partner, and more. Check out an example by @joraandjoseph, where the on-screen copy reads “When he’s showing me a TikTok I definitely saw an hour ago but he’s a golden retriever and I don’t want to hurt his feelings.”
Just tell me it’s not the end of the line by Olly Murs – Ms_V - ms.verii
The awkward eye contact in the elevator trend opened the door to many creators and brands recreating cringy eye contact moments. Examples include @haleyybaylee trying to use her elevator in peace and @retirementhouse making eye contact in Grand Central. So what’s your brand’s version? What awkward eye contact is happening at your office? Are you trying to sneak in a break but make eye contact with your boss? Did someone see you use the last of the printer paper without refilling it? The possibilities are endless.
