Crée le tienWhich sound it is
The dance uses “Toc Toc” by Patrick Sébastien, a French party song. In the apps, search “toc toc Patrick Sébastien”: searching only “toc toc” also turns up nursery rhymes and unrelated songs with the same name. Fans call the sound Kicékéla too; the explainer says why.
Where the moves sit in the song
| In the clip | In the song | The move |
|---|---|---|
| 0–2 s | The opening bars | The march into the lens, the hop back |
| 2–3.5 s | The two knocks | Knock knock on the invisible door |
| 3.5–9 s | Bouncy party beat | Shrug, turn, side steps, heel-kick hops |
| 10–11 s | The last beat | Arms open, ta-da |
Line the knocks up and the rest follows. The ta-da should land as the clip ends, not a beat before.
Adding it in each app
TikTok
Borrowing it is the safest: under any hallway Toc Toc video, tap the song title, then Use this sound, and upload your clip. If you add it from your own upload instead, search with the singer’s name and drag the song until the knocks match your fist. Label AI-made clips with the AI-generated content switch under More options.
Instagram Reels
Tap the song name on a Toc Toc reel and choose Use audio, or pick your clip in a new reel and search “Toc Toc Patrick Sébastien” in the music list. Slide the start so the knock knock lines up.
YouTube Shorts
Upload as a Short, tap Sound and search the title with the singer. Shorts only lets you pick a slice of the song, so choose the part with the knocks.
If your clip already has the song
A Toc Toc video from the Toc Toc page already carries the song, knocks and ta-da in place, and can go up as it is. If you want it on the sound page as well, add the app’s Toc Toc sound and turn your clip’s own track off; two copies a fraction apart sound like an echo.
When Toc Toc won’t play or won’t show up
- Silent after posting: the song was only inside your file and got flagged. Post again with Toc Toc picked from the app, your clip’s audio off.
- Not in search: business accounts on TikTok see fewer songs, and the catalogue changes by country. Start from someone’s Toc Toc video instead.
- Wrong song: a different “Toc Toc” came up. Check the artist reads Patrick Sébastien.
