DISTROBOLT ARTIST GUIDES
Your song is missing from TikTok: check the cause
When a song is missing on TikTok, identify whether the problem concerns catalogue delivery, the Music Tab, a sound link or the account’s available music library. Those cases need different evidence and correction routes.
Record the exact observation
Keep the release reference, recording identifier, official sound link if known, profile, account type, territory and date. Note whether you cannot search for the song, cannot select it for a post or cannot see it in the artist tab. A clip with the wrong start point is another separate issue.
Check delivery and profile association
Ask DistroBolt whether the intended recording was delivered and whether there is a confirmed destination reference. Review the current Music Tab process for association problems. Do not create an unofficial replacement sound and present it as the delivered recording without understanding the consequences for identity and reporting.
Check the intended use
TikTok’s official guidance distinguishes commercial use and its Commercial Music Library. Availability for one account or ordinary post does not automatically establish permission for a brand campaign or ad. Do not switch identities, use a VPN or re-upload copyrighted audio merely to bypass a restriction. Confirm the required rights and supported route instead.
Escalate one specific issue
Send DistroBolt the delivery question with identifiers, and use current TikTok artist tools for the applicable profile or tab issue. For the wrong clip, provide the expected passage and the actual result without assuming an instant clip-edit feature. Keep the response and verify the corrected official sound. No fixed processing time or universal availability is guaranteed.
