Many YouTube vlogs and tutorials sound identical because creators are all pulling from the same small pool of copyright-free music. AI-generated music is offering creators a different approach by producing fresh tracks instead of everyone using identical background music from the same sources.
How AI-Generated Background Music Can Elevate Your YouTube Channel
The best fact about AI music generators and finders is that they work with your video instead of against it. You tell them what mood you want, set duration and type, and you get a royalty-free and copyright-licensed track of the highest quality possible that's made for your specific project. Every time you generate something new, it's different, so you never have that moment where you're watching someone else's video and think, "great, they used the same background music I did".
Top Background Music Options to Enhance Your YouTube Videos
Of course, you can find good background music on YouTube's Audio Library. But there's the easiest way to do it. Instead of choosing from common existing tracks on popular music finders, you can create good, fresh music that matches your specific content needs. For example, you can explore Mubert's curated playlists sorted by:
- genres;
- moods (for example, sensual mood music best fits travel or lifetime YouTube vlogs);
- activities;
- themes (here, you'll find audios specifically for YouTube);
- instruments, and more.
Or you can just describe what you want, like "upbeat non-distracting travel vlog music" in the AI music generator and create unique royalty-free non-vocal songs for your video.
Easy Guide to Adding Background Music to Your YouTube Videos
There are two simple ways to add background music to a YouTube video: do it in your editor before upload, or add a track inside YouTube Studio after upload.
If you want to add AI-generated music before you upload (recommended), then:
- Generate and download a track on Mubert.
- Drop it on your video's timeline.
- Set levels so speech leads.
- Upload your video.
If you prefer to add music after upload (inside YouTube Studio):
- Open the video in YouTube Studio.
- In Editor, use the built-in music tools to choose and edit a royalty-free track.
- Save changes.
Check that the generated music you download allows monetization because not all royalty-free tracks are the same. Just because a track is popular or easy to find doesn't mean it's safe to use in videos you plan to make money from.
Some common free sites have confusing licensing terms that could cause problems later. But Mubert's Creator plan explicitly covers YouTube monetization without requiring attribution, so you know exactly what you're allowed to do with the generated music.
