What this is
Promise by laufey.
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 6 August 2026,
we counted 292 different accounts

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
Focus on the lyrics—use the 'I made a promise to distance myself' line to trigger a transition.
Looks like a fit for: Anime editors, figure skaters, and aesthetic vloggers
✓ Sync your visual cut to the exact moment the vocal starts at 0:05
✓ Use a high-contrast, moody filter to match the song's vibe
✓ Include a text overlay that tells a micro-story about distance or regret
✓ Use slow-motion for the first 5 seconds to build tension
✗ Don't use high-energy, fast-paced transitions that clash with the song's tempo
✗ Don't use bright, saturated colors; keep the aesthetic muted and melancholic
✗ Don't talk over the audio; let the vocals carry the mood
Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no
claim about which will perform better.
