What this is
Fleeting by Sarah Kinsley.
The title and artist above are the ones TikTok stored for this sound, and the link goes
to that sound on TikTok. We have not matched them to a music catalogue, so we publish no
release date and no catalogue identifier, and we do not claim this is the same recording
as any particular release.
What we measured
In the 300 most recent public TikTok
videos we reviewed on 18 August 2026,
we counted 194 different accounts
and 6,455,625 combined views at the time we

These figures describe that one dated sample, not the sound's total use. We do not know from a
single sample whether use of this sound is rising or falling, and we do not say that it is.

Creative direction
Capture a moment that feels like it's slipping away—a sunset, a laugh with friends, or a character's best scene.
Looks like a fit for: Editors and aesthetic vloggers
✓ Cut to the beat drop at 0:14 for the main visual transition
✓ Use the 'It's not forever, it's only fleeting' lyric as a text overlay
✓ Focus on high-quality, dreamy, or slightly nostalgic visuals
✓ Use the sound for a 'before and after' or 'then vs now' transition
✗ Don't use the sound for high-energy, aggressive gym or sports content
✗ Don't bury the vocals with loud sound effects
✗ Don't use the sound past the 45s mark; keep it punchy
Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no
claim about which will perform better.
