Can You Use the Hotel Lobby Song in an AI Video?

Updated 2026-10-23

Short answer

Not inside the video file, unless you have a license. “Hotel Lobby” is a commercial recording, and uploading a video with it baked in can get your post muted or claimed. The safer route is an AI rap video with an original beat, then adding the trend sound from TikTok’s or Instagram’s music library when you post, which those platforms license for use on their apps.

Why posts get muted

Platforms match the audio in your upload against a database of recordings. A match without a license can mute the audio, block the post in some countries or send the revenue to the rights holder.

What we do instead

  • The AI writes original lyrics and an original beat for every video.
  • On the Hotel Lobby stage the beat is a new song in the trend’s bouncy style, not the original recording.
  • Nothing in the file is copied from a real artist’s track or voice.

Adding the trend sound legally

  1. Download your AI rap video.
  2. Open TikTok or Instagram and start a new post with the video.
  3. Pick the “Hotel Lobby” sound from the app’s music library and lower the original audio if you want.
  4. Add the AI-generated label and post.

This is general information, not legal advice. Music licensing differs by platform and country.

Why the trend sound in the app is fine

TikTok, Instagram and YouTube license their music libraries. When you add “Hotel Lobby” from the library, the platform pays for that use. When the song is baked into your file, it looks like an upload of someone else’s recording, and that is what gets muted.
