YouTube Music joins TikTok's Add to Music app feature in latest update
Back in 2023, TikTok partnered with small group of music streaming services to roll out a new feature for its users. Called 'Add to Music app,' this feature allowed you to add songs to your favorite music streaming services. Now the platform is adding another streaming service to its list of options. YouTube Music users will now be able to save the songs they find on TikTok to the music app, according to TechCrunch . Starting today, users will find YouTube Music amongst the other streaming service options when tapping on the 'Add Song' button located below the clip description. Once you use the feature, the song can be found in the TikTok Songs playlist on YouTube Music. Selecting YouTube Music will make it the default app you use to save songs. However, you can change your default app by going to Settings and heading over to the Music menu. Tracy Gardner, TikTok's Global Head of Music Business Development, said in a statement sent to the outlet: Add to Music App continues to deliver real results for the music industry, with hundreds of millions of track saves translating into billions of streams on music streaming services. When TikTok initially launched Add to Music app, the feature only supported a small number of services including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. It also was only available in the US and the UK. However, it later expanded support for Deezer and SoundCloud and came to over 160 more countries.

Saiyaara In Kishore Kumar's Voice? AI Version Makes Fans Say ‘Better Than Original'
A fan also shared that the AI version of the song seemed original, while the actual track from the film sounded like a remake of this one. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara has become a hot topic of discussion among movie buffs. The romantic drama has been making waves ever since it was released in theatres. Whether it's the storyline, the impressive performances of the cast, or the mesmerising soundtrack, everything has struck a chord with the audience. Saiyaara received so much love from the audience that its title track now sits at the top on Spotify's Global Viral chart, with many on social media taking this as an opportunity to share reels on the song. Among all the clips, one that quickly garnered much attention on social media was posted by two musicians, who recreated Saiyaara's title song, adding a surprising twist to it. With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the duo recreated the song in a way that makes it sound as if the legendary singer Kishore Kumar has actually lent his voice to the modern-day song. And to make it more believable and realistic, they even used the song over a dance sequence from the film Kaalia, featuring Amitabh Bachchan and Parveen Babi. The video perfectly blends with the edited audio. Sharing the video, they wrote in the caption, 'If Saiyaara was a Kishore da song!" Internet Reaction To Kishore Kumar Version Of Saiyaara's Title Track Within no time, the video raked in over 9 million views, and it didn't take long for the Internet to express its fondness for the AI version of Saiyaara's title track. They were in awe of how seamlessly the old and the new worlds came together, sounding perfect. One user said, 'Kishore Da's voice can make anything banger." Another added, 'This version is better than the original." A different user asked them to release the full version, writing, 'Please release a full version on platforms like YouTube Music or Spotify, pretty please. I am so deeply in love with this." Someone else penned, 'Seems like this is the original one, and in Saiyaara, it's the remake." What Is Saiyaara's Box Office Collection? Released on July 18, Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has earned over Rs 248 crore in India to date. The romantic drama, backed by Yash Raj Films, collected Rs 326 worldwide, surpassing the collections of recent releases like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2 and Housefull 5. Saiyaara is now the second-highest grosser in India, trailing only behind Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna's Chhaava, which was released in February this year. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 12:22 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
