How do I make Pop music for TikTok with AI?

Generate a pop track in AetherWave's AI Music Studio, then drop it into Track Reels to cut a vertical 9:16 clip with the hook locked to the front. The reel exports as MP4 ready to upload to TikTok.

What length is best for Pop TikTok clips?

TikTok rewards 7 to 15 second hooks. For pop, lead with the loudest, most identifiable moment - a vocal phrase, drop, or signature riff. Track Reels lets you trim to that window in one drag.

Can I post AI Pop music to TikTok commercially?

Yes. Tracks generated on AetherWave belong to you and can be uploaded to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or any platform. Your reels can be monetized through TikTok's Creator program once you meet platform thresholds.
