What this is
SLAY by Max Barskih.
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 8 August 2026,
we counted 280 different accounts

Creative direction
Use the beat to highlight your best work—whether it's a heavy lift, a fit check, or a character edit.
Looks like a fit for: Gym creators, fashion influencers, and fan-edit editors.
✓ Sync your transition or lift to the 'Slay' vocal hook at 0:05.
✓ Use a text overlay that says 'POV: You're on a different level'.
✓ Keep the edit fast-paced with high-contrast color grading.
✓ Use the sound for a 'before and after' transformation.
✗ Don't use the sound for slow, static content; it needs energy.
✗ Don't let the video drag past 20 seconds; keep it punchy.
✗ Don't ignore the beat—if the cuts aren't on the rhythm, the edit loses impact.
Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no
claim about which will perform better.
