Hotel Lobby Song: What It Is and How to Add the Sound to Your Video
The Hotel Lobby song behind the trend: the Quavo and Takeoff track, the COLORS performance, and how to add the Hotel Lobby sound on TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
The Hotel Lobby song is "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff, released under their duo name Unc & Phew in 2022. The Hotel Lobby trend uses a short clip of their COLORS performance of the song as its sound. This guide explains which track it is, why AI Hotel Lobby videos are posted with the original Hotel Lobby rap, and how to add the Hotel Lobby sound to your own video on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. If you searched "Hotel Lobby song AI", this is the part most guides skip: the AI makes the picture, and the real song comes from the app you post on.
Our videos are silent on purpose. Add the Hotel Lobby sound when you post.

Which Hotel Lobby song is used in the trend?
- Track: "Hotel Lobby" by Quavo and Takeoff (credited as Unc & Phew), from 2022.
- Version used: the live COLORS performance, published on June 17, 2022, where the two share one hanging microphone in an all-orange studio.
- Length in the trend: a short clip, about 15 seconds on TikTok. X versions often run longer, around 30 seconds.
People search for it as "Hotel Lobby Quavo song", "Hotel Lobby Migos song" or simply "Hotel Lobby rap". It's the same track: Quavo and Takeoff were two of the three members of Migos.
Why AI Hotel Lobby videos use the original sound
Every viral Hotel Lobby AI video we studied is posted with the same Hotel Lobby audio. That shared sound does two jobs:
- Timing. The viral clips all follow one 15-second routine, so the point, the spin and the "hush" land on the same words every time. Use the same sound from the start and your video lines up the same way.
- Reach. On TikTok, using the trend's sound places your video in the same feed as every other Hotel Lobby video.
Why our Hotel Lobby AI videos are silent
We don't include the Hotel Lobby song, or any copyrighted music, in our downloads. You get a clean, silent 15-second MP4, and you add the Hotel Lobby sound inside TikTok, Instagram or YouTube from the app's own sound library. We don't host or offer downloads of the song, and we don't publish the lyrics.
How to add the Hotel Lobby TikTok sound
- Tap + and upload your Hotel Lobby AI video.
- Tap Add sound at the top of the editor.
- Search Hotel Lobby (or "Hotel Lobby Unc and Phew") and choose the sound most of the trend videos use β open a few trend videos and tap their sound to find it.
- Keep the sound starting from the beginning. Our routine follows the trend's timing, so you shouldn't need to trim it.
- Turn the original audio volume down (it's silent anyway) and post.
How to add the Hotel Lobby sound on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
- Instagram Reels: start a new Reel, add your video, tap Add audio, search "Hotel Lobby" and pick the track, starting at 0:00.
- YouTube Shorts: upload your video as a Short, tap Add sound, search "Hotel Lobby" and add it from the start.
Music availability depends on your country and account type. If a sound isn't available, use the trend sound from another Hotel Lobby video (TikTok's "use this sound" button) or post it with your own voiceover.
Tips for syncing the Hotel Lobby song
- Don't speed up or slow down the video. Our clip is exactly 15 seconds; changing its speed shifts the moves off the beat.
- Check the ending. The "hush" and the point-back happen in the last three seconds. If they don't land where you expect, slide the sound start by a fraction of a second.
- Vertical for TikTok and Reels, horizontal if you're posting on X or YouTube in landscape.
- Pets work with the sound too. A cat rapping on the beat is the most-shared version β see Hotel Lobby AI cats. The preview is free; here's what the video costs.
Make the video first
