Creative direction

Use the track to soundtrack a major life transition or a high-stakes sports moment.

Looks like a fit for: Editors and lifestyle creators

• Do: Sync the first beat drop to a major visual transition
• Do: Use text overlays to tell a story of 'letting go' or 'moving forward'
• Do: Keep the edit under 15 seconds for maximum loopability
• Do: Use high-quality, high-contrast footage
• Avoid: Don't use the sound past the 20s mark; the hook is the most recognizable part
• Avoid: Don't use low-resolution or blurry footage
• Avoid: Don't ignore the lyrics; the visual should match the longing mood

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