How to add the Burning Bridges sound on TikTok and Reels

Why add the sound when the video has the song

Your file comes with Burning Bridges laid over it, so it plays with the song in a group chat, a story or anywhere else you send it. On TikTok and Reels, picking the official sound as well puts your video under the sound with everyone else’s, and the platform handles the music licence. Turn the original sound down in the editor so the two don’t double up.

On TikTok

1. Download your video from My videos to your phone.
2. Open TikTok, tap the + button and pick the video from your gallery.
3. Tap Add sound at the top of the editor and search for Burning Bridges. Pick the official sound.
4. Trim the sound so its start lines up with the finger guns in your first shot, then turn the original sound down.
5. Tap Next, add your caption and post.

Shortcut: on any Burning Bridges video in your feed, tap the sound name at the bottom, then Use sound, and choose your video from the gallery.

On Instagram Reels

1. Download your video from My videos to your phone.
2. Open Instagram, tap + and choose Reel, then select the video.
3. Tap the audio or music button, search for Burning Bridges and pick the track.
4. Choose the part of the song that plays, starting on your first shot.
5. Tap Next, write a caption and share.

Shortcut: on a Reel that uses the sound, tap the audio name, then Use audio, and add your video.

If the sound won’t show up

• Check you’re on a personal or creator account rather than a business account.
• Update the app. Older versions may not show newer sounds.
• Search the exact title, or start from a video that already uses the sound.
• If the song isn’t available where you live, keep your video’s original sound: the song is already in it.

Questions

My video already has the song. Why add the sound?

Picking the official sound in TikTok or Instagram connects your post to the trend page, where most of the views come from, and uses the platform’s licensed version of the song, so it’s less likely to be muted.

Why can’t I find the song on my account?

Business accounts on TikTok and Instagram often have a smaller music library limited to commercially cleared tracks, so popular songs may be missing. Switching to a personal or creator account usually brings them back. Availability can also vary by country.
