What sound do I use for the Ba Ba Ba Dance, and does it sync?

Updated:

Short answer

We found no released song we could confirm. The clip we follow, by @otr.j5, plays its own original sound. Open it in TikTok, tap the sound and start it at second zero, and both solos and the hand-over sit about where they should. That sound does not come inside our video.

How to put the original sound on your video in TikTok

Every video you make here comes with an AI-made soundtrack of its own. If you would rather use the trending sound, add it inside TikTok when you post. You can also grab the version without music from My videos and lay the original sound over that.

  1. Open this clip in TikTok: our video follows it. Tap the sound name at the bottom, then tap Use this sound.
  2. Tap Upload and choose the video you downloaded from us.
  3. Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or use the Download without music version from My videos.
  4. To line the clip up with the beat, trim the sound so it starts at 0 seconds, then post.

Need the sound to start somewhere else? This short video shows how to trim it.

Questions people ask

Which sound matches best?

The sound of the @otr.j5 clip, because our timing is taken from its first fifteen seconds.

Can I keep the AI beat?

Yes. It was made for this scene and has no link to the viral audio.

Does the preview match the sound too?

Not closely. The preview squeezes the action, and the 15-second video is the one paced like the viral clip.
