Looping music for YouTube Shorts background

Shorts auto-replay, so a background track that clicks on the loop gets noticed on the second pass. Make the music seamless first: Loop Music finds the gap-free splice in about 20 seconds, so your Short's background bed repeats with nothing to hear — however many times it loops.

Shorts background music: common questions

What Shorts creators ask about looping beds.

How do I loop background music for a YouTube Short?

Make the track seamless in Loop Music, then place it under your clip in your editor. Because Loop Music removes the click, the bed loops with no audible restart as the Short replays.

There's nothing to set on YouTube's side — the seamless file is what makes the loop clean.

Why does my Shorts background pop on repeat?

The ends of the track don't line up, so it jumps on the loop. Loop Music aligns them so the wrap-around is silent.

Quiet, steady beds make the pop especially obvious, which is why fixing the file matters.

Can I reuse the loop across platforms?

Yes. A seamless file from Loop Music loops cleanly on Shorts, Reels and TikTok, so make it once and reuse it.

The loop is baked into the file, so it behaves the same everywhere.

Is it free?

Yes — Loop Music's free plan includes five seamless loops a month, and each takes about 20 seconds to make.

Pro adds WAV export and a higher limit for high-volume channels.
