20 AI Music Prompts for YouTube, Reels, and TikTok (Copy & Paste)

Good audio is half of a good video, especially on YouTube Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.

The problem is that most creators either reuse the same trending sounds as everyone else, or waste time scrolling libraries trying to find background music that kind of fits.

With an AI Music Generator (like the one in Miraflow AI), you can skip all that.
You describe the vibe, genre, and use case, and let AI compose custom tracks for:

• YouTube videos & Shorts
• Instagram Reels
• TikTok hooks
• Product promos, faceless channels, and more

This post gives you 20 ready-to-use AI music prompts you can copy, paste, slightly tweak, and generate music with, plus some tips so the tracks are safe to use in your content.

How to Use These AI Music Prompts

You can use these in any AI music tool, but they’re written to work especially well with Miraflow AI Music Generator:

1. Pick a prompt that matches your video type
2. Paste it into the Music Description field
3. Adjust a few words for:
4. • Tempo (slow / medium / fast)
   • Mood (calm / intense / playful)
   • Use case (Shorts, vlog, product ad, study mix)
4. Generate, listen under your video, then refine if needed

Tip: keep a small Prompt Library in Notion / Moltbook so you don’t start from zero every time.

How to Get the Best Results from AI Music Prompts

These prompts are a starting point, small tweaks can make them fit your channel perfectly.

1. Add duration hints

• 30-second version for Shorts
• 60-second loop
• 3-minute track for long-form YouTube video

2. Be clear about vocals

Most YouTube creators want instrumental only:

• Select 'Instrumental' button

3. Tune energy level to the content

As a rough rule:

• Tutorials, educational → low to medium energy
• Product ads, hype edits → medium to high energy
• Study, sleep, ambient → very low energy, slow tempo, minimal drums

4. Test under your actual video

Never judge the track in isolation. Always:

• Drop it under the voiceover or footage
• Check:
• • Can you still hear your voice clearly?
  • Does the music fight with sound effects?
  • Does it change mood at the wrong point?

If needed, regenerate with a simpler or calmer version of the same prompt.
