Looking for the skull cap trend song? Many TikTok edits use “original sound - SoulReligion.” The sound features Bryson Tiller’s verse from DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts” (featuring Rihanna and Bryson Tiller). The song itself prominently samples Santana’s “Maria Maria” (featuring The Product G&B).
Why does the sound fit the trend?
The trend is built around a hard before-and-after cut. The first shot is bright and ordinary; after the beat shifts, the video jumps to a darker, more serious look. That musical accent gives the edit a clear moment to change scenes. If the cut lands too early or too late, the transformation can feel less satisfying.
There is no single required version of the audio. TikTok sound pages and music availability can change by region, so look for the sound in TikTok’s own library before posting.
How to add the sound on TikTok
- Open TikTok’s sound page for “original sound - SoulReligion” and choose the option to use it, or upload your finished clip and tap Add sound.
- Find the point in the audio where the beat accent should land.
- Align that accent with the video’s transformation cut, then preview the whole clip before posting.
Adding the sound through TikTok can associate your post with that sound page. If the sound is not available in your region, use an option offered by TikTok or choose audio you have permission to use.
Posting the video on Instagram Reels
TikTok’s uploaded sound may not appear in Instagram’s audio library. Search for “Wild Thoughts” in Reels and select an available version you are allowed to use. Adjust its starting point so the musical accent meets your cut, then preview the result.
