There are over 1.4 million tracks available to you on Lickd, but we appreciate we’re still missing some big artists like Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift. Our goal is to get all 25M top tracks available to you, but this requires us to get those rights from the copyright owners, which takes time.
We’re the only place you can get big-name artists right now and the only ones fighting to make more of this music available to you. By joining Lickd now you’ll help us make that happen. Help us help you!
Most importantly, connecting your YouTube channel allows us to whitelist your channel for stock music use and clear copyright claims on licensed music!
Secondly, our pricing model is built based on your average video views. This makes music affordable for everyone, even if you’re just starting your content creation journey!
Absolutely! Lickd is the first copyrighted music licensing platform that allows you to use great music AND avoid demonetization, with built-in protection from copyright claims.
As a YouTube partner, we integrate directly into YouTube’s Content ID to show you’ve got permission to use a track. If you get any claims, we’ll squash them for you – so you have nothing to worry about.
In short, no. Our ‘premium’ copyrighted music licenses do not permit the songs to be used for lyric videos or by themselves as an ‘art track’ (for example, with just an image of the album artwork, a black screen, static images, stock footage, etc).
That’s because our licenses have been created for those who need background music for their original video content. The type of videos described above are deemed not to use songs as background music for content, but simply as a way for viewers to stream the song itself. This is copyright infringement and therefore cannot be covered by our licenses. This restriction also concerns AI-generated lyric videos.
Methodology: We’re throwing around some big numbers on this page! They come from a study in 2024, where we looked at 28,000 creator channels on Lickd and compared the stats on all their videos where Lickd licensed mainstream music was used vs those with only royalty-free music. For example, looking at videos in the gaming vertical showed an average 100% increase in video views and 76% increase in comments. A more in-depth case study performed with health & fitness creator growingannanas saw her videos had a 35% average increase in watch time when using Lickd licensed music.”
