TikTok is putting the spotlight on songwriters
Briefly

TikTok is enhancing its platform for songwriters by allowing them to showcase tracks they have written or co-written directly on their profiles. These tracks will be accessible within a new 'Music' tab, similar to features available for artists. Registered songwriters will also receive a 'Songwriter' label for better recognition. This update builds on existing tools like the 'New' tag for new releases and the 'BehindTheSong' hub launched in 2023. Currently, these features are in closed beta with a limited number of publishers, and interested parties can join a waitlist for future access.
