You can fix most TikTok Music Tab and artist profile issues yourself by sending a request straight to TikTok. TikTok recently changed how these requests work, and going direct is now the quickest way to get them sorted.
What you can ask TikTok to fix
If your request is about your TikTok artist profile or your Music Tab, you can submit it to TikTok directly. That includes:
- Adding your songs to your Music Tab
- Removing songs that aren't yours from your Music Tab
- A sound that's linked to the wrong song
- A missing "Add to Music" button on your sound
- Transferring, reclaiming, or unlinking your artist account
How to submit your request to TikTok
- Claim your artist profile. In the TikTok app, go to your profile, tap the three dots, then tap TikTok Studio, then Artist Hub, and tap Apply. You'll need screenshots of your DistroKid dashboard showing your artist name and releases. TikTok approves these within about 30 days.
- Sign up for TikTok for Artists. Once you're approved, sign up for TikTok for Artists using the TikTok account you claimed. Choose Artist when it asks for your account type.
- Contact TikTok. After you're in, click Contact us to open the support form and submit your request.
TikTok usually resolves these within 7 business days.
Good to know
Can DistroKid submit this request for me?
No. Only the artist can submit these requests, so TikTok won't accept them from DistroKid on your behalf.
If you keep running into issues when you use TikTok for Artists to request an update, let us know. Send screenshots and examples of what's happening, and we can reach out to TikTok for you.
When should I contact DistroKid instead?
If your request is about rights, matching, or your release itself, let us know. That includes sounds not matching to your music, ownership disputes, takedowns, and release-level song info.
