# Background music for your videos

> Make instrumental background music for YouTube and TikTok videos. Set the mood and the length, change any part by asking, and use it in your videos.

Describe your video, and Shawarma makes music to go under it: bright for a travel vlog, calm for a tutorial, big for an intro.

It is an instrumental, so it never talks over you. Ask for it quieter, shorter, slower, or with a drop where your cut is.

Travel vlog

bright guitar, claps and bass

1. **The opening shot** guitar, bass
2. **On the road** drums, guitar, bass, bells

## Two more to try

- Calm explainer: soft plucks and a pad, out of the way: [Make it yours](https://shawarma.studio/open?example=made-video-explainer)
- Big intro: strings, piano and deep drums: [Make it yours](https://shawarma.studio/open?example=made-video-intro)

## Then ask for *changes*

Once your song plays, type what it needs. It changes while it plays, and you keep only what you like.

- You make it exactly 30 seconds with an ending
- You quieter while I talk
- You add a drop at 0:15
- You more upbeat for a travel video
- You take the drums out for the intro

## Made for video

- Under your voice: Instrumentals only, and you can ask for it quieter or simpler where you talk.
- The right length: Ask for 30 seconds for a short, or three minutes for a vlog, with an ending.
- Yours to use: You own what you make and can use it in your videos and games. Some built-in sounds ask for a credit; the list is on the Terms page.
