A post that advertises, endorses, sponsors or is tied to a brand (or comes from a business account) uses a sound that is not from the Commercial Music Library.
What TikTok says
“Commercial Sounds are the only sounds made available on TikTok for Commercial Uses. Otherwise, no rights are granted to make Commercial Uses of any other sounds (music and non-music) on or through TikTok.”
How to fix it
Use Commercial Music Library tracks or original audio for promotional and business posts.
