Music Usage Terms

The straightforward answer is NO — you cannot freely use HammerHead Music songs in your content.

However, there are exceptions.

Because our music is officially distributed on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and other social media apps, you may use the official in-app sound. The official sound clearly states that the song was created by HammerHead Music, which properly credits us.

You may also use our music in long-form YouTube content such as reactions, reviews, commentary videos ect, as long as you clearly credit us and include the correct song title in the title or description.

If you are creating a cover of one of our songs, the same rules apply — it must be properly credited and cannot be monetized without permission.

Here’s where it becomes an issue:

• You may NOT reupload full songs, extended clips, or long-form content (even with minor edits) in a way that competes with or replaces the original upload — especially without clear, visible credit to HammerHead Music and the correct song title.
• You may NOT profit from our music. This includes monetizing videos that primarily feature our songs, claiming revenue, distributing the audio through other services, or using it in paid promotions without written permission.
• You may NOT use altered or unofficial in-app sounds for shorts/reels if you do not credit.
• You may NOT rebrand, modify, edit, distort, remix, speed up, slow down, loop, or otherwise alter the audio in a way that presents it as something new or different and upload it as your own. You also may not change album art, thumbnails, or visuals and present the content as your own.
• You may NOT use our instrumentals for recording vocals, remixes, background music, or any content creation. Instrumentals are released strictly for listening purposes only unless explicit permission is granted.

We have these guidelines in place simply to keep things fair for everyone and to prevent any confusion or accidental miscrediting. The goal isn’t to limit creativity — it’s to make sure proper credit is given and everything stays clear, respectful, and organized for both the creators and the community!
