Why Release on Douyin?
Reach audiences across mainland China
Douyin is one of China's major short-form video platforms and an important channel for music discovery.
For Chinese artists and international artists targeting mainland China, making music available on Douyin gives creators another way to discover, use, and share your songs beyond conventional streaming platforms.
Turn your music into a sound creators can use
Music on Douyin can become part of the platform's sound library, allowing eligible tracks to be used in short-form videos.
Every creator who uses your music can potentially introduce it to a new audience, helping a track travel beyond your existing followers through user-generated content.
For artists, this means distribution to Douyin is not simply about generating plays—it is about making your music available for creators to build content around.
Drive discovery through trends and user-generated content
Music plays a central role in short-form video trends.
A memorable section of a song can spread through dance videos, lifestyle content, memes, challenges, transformations, and other creator formats, sometimes introducing tracks to audiences far beyond their original fanbase.
This makes Douyin particularly valuable for releases with strong hooks or moments that work naturally in short-form content.
Reach listeners beyond traditional streaming
Music discovery increasingly happens outside dedicated streaming apps.
A listener may first hear a song in a Douyin video, discover the artist through repeated creator use, and then search for the full track elsewhere.
For artists targeting China, Douyin can therefore complement platforms such as NetEase Cloud Music, QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music by creating additional discovery opportunities around a release.
Promotional opportunities for priority releases
Selected releases may receive additional promotional support through campaigns involving creators, music trends, challenges, or other in-app placements.
Euphoria can support eligible priority releases with regional promotional opportunities where applicable. Availability depends on the release, campaign, and Douyin's approval, and placement cannot be guaranteed.

Why can’t I find my song on Douyin?

If your music was distributed through Euphoria but you still cannot find it on Douyin after processing, our team can help check the delivery status and investigate the issue with the platform where applicable.

Yes. Douyin is one of China's major platforms for music discovery, and songs can gain exposure when creators use them in videos, trends, challenges, and other user-generated content. A track with a memorable hook or a section that works naturally with short-form video may be picked up by multiple creators and reach audiences beyond the artist's existing fanbase. Distribution alone does not guarantee virality, but making your music available on Douyin gives creators the opportunity to discover and use it.
