What we measured

In the 74 most recent public TikTok videos we reviewed on 17 August 2026, we counted 36 different accounts and 2,819,333 combined views at the time we looked.

One account, @slaydrigaming, accounted for about 41.2% 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

Focus on high-impact, fast-cut edits. Sync your visuals to the aggressive vocal delivery and the beat drops.

Looks like a fit for: Editors and high-skill gamers

• Do: Sync your first visual cut to the very first beat of the track.
• Do: Use high-contrast or black-and-white filters to match the dark aesthetic.
• Do: Include a text overlay that highlights the 'beast' theme of the lyrics.
• Do: Keep the edit under 15 seconds to maximize loop potential.
• Avoid: Don't use slow, static shots; the track demands high-velocity movement.
• Avoid: Don't ignore the lyrics; use the 'beast' vocal cue for your biggest visual reveal.
• Avoid: Don't use the sound for long-form talking head videos; it kills the energy.

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