What this is

Buyin' Dirt by buffalotrafficjam.

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 36 most recent public TikTok videos we reviewed on 2 August 2026, we counted 34 different accounts and 249,124 combined views at the time we looked.

One account, @sodjfsodj, accounted for about 84.3% of the views in that sample, so the total is not spread evenly.

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

Use the track to soundtrack a transition from your 'old life' to your current passion or favorite place.

Looks like a fit for: Outdoor enthusiasts, BookTok editors, and lifestyle vloggers

• Do: Sync the lyric 'shifting gears' to a transition between two locations
• Do: Use text overlays to tell a 15-second story of personal change
• Do: Film in natural light for an authentic, casual aesthetic
• Do: Use the first 15 seconds for maximum impact
• Avoid: Don't use high-production filters; keep it raw and casual
• Avoid: Don't talk over the lyrics; let the vocal carry the mood
• Avoid: Don't use the track for high-energy dance content; it kills the vibe

Suggestions our AI drew from the videos it reviewed. They are ideas, not rules, and we make no claim about which will perform better.
