How do I add the original sound so the poses line up?

Updated: October 28, 2026

Short answer

Our timing copies the @adamlostagain clip, whose sound starts at 0 seconds. In TikTok open that clip, tap its sound, choose Use this sound and keep the start at zero; the jump from fists out to fists on hips then lands on the beat. The song itself never reaches your file.

Still: a woman in teal and jeans singing along in a bright stairwell, fists clenched, arms out

Adding it

From My videos, download the clip or the silent copy.
In TikTok, open the @adamlostagain clip, tap its sound name and pick Use this sound.
Post with the sound starting at 0 seconds.
To hear only that sound, set the video's own volume to 0.

Why the song is absent

Rights holders own TikTok's songs. So the video ships with fresh AI-made music, which may include invented vocals, and you add the licensed sound inside TikTok.

Two poses, one switch

There are only two poses, so the sound has just one place to go wrong. The first four seconds are fists out at shoulder height with a slow sway, at about 4.3 seconds the fists drop to the hips and the shoulders start bobbing, and in the last moment the head tips back. Your sound should change gear at that switch. The video runs 8 seconds, so a sound cut to that length needs no further trimming.
