What sound goes with the I Love the Smiths video, and how do I add it?
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
In the film scene the song “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths plays in the headphones, and the song and the lines are under copyright, so our video has only a soft hum and a chime. Search the sound in TikTok when you post and start it at 0 seconds, or download the silent version.
What you hear in our video
A soft elevator hum, one gentle door chime and faint footsteps, and nothing else: no music, no voices and no lyrics. It is generated with the video, so it differs between runs.
Add a sound in TikTok
- Download the version without sound from My videos.
- In TikTok, upload your video and tap Sounds, then pick any sound you like or one you saw in the trend’s posts.
- Search the sound in TikTok’s sound picker, start it at the part you want and drag it until its opening lands as the first person turns, around the 3-second mark. The scene is not timed to the sound, so shift it by a second or two if it looks out of step.
- Trim the sound to the 12-second video and post.
Why we do not include any sound
The posts use whatever sound their makers picked, and a commercial track belongs to its owners. Adding the sound inside TikTok keeps it licensed by the app, and our file carries only an AI-made beat. MimicZip is independent and has no link to any artist, label or the author of the original post.
How to add the original sound in TikTok
Our videos come with an AI-made original soundtrack. To use the trending sound instead, add it inside TikTok when you post: that also puts your video on the sound's page, where people following the trend look. You can also download a silent version from My videos and put the original sound on that.
- Open this clip in TikTok: our video follows it. Tap the sound name at the bottom, then tap Use this sound.
- Tap Upload and pick the video you downloaded from us.
- Open Volume and turn the video's own sound down to 0, or download the silent version from My videos.
- To line up the beat, use the scissors (trim) to start the sound from 0 seconds, then post.

Questions people ask
Is the video timed to a sound?
No. The beats follow the original’s order, not any sound, so shift the sound by a second or so.
Can I keep the AI beat?
Yes. It is instrumental with no voices. Download the silent version if you want only your own sound.
Are the artist or the TikTok author involved?
No. MimicZip is independent and not made, endorsed or licensed by either.
