Music is a powerful tool in driving car commercials and adverts. It can set the mood and tone, enhance visual elements, create an emotional connection with the audience, and create brand recognition. Music can help convey the desired message and create an impactful advertisement.
So, you can truly say that music drives car commercials (pun intended)!
Hi, I’m Mik, one of TunePocket music composers. I went though our catalog of royalty free music and picked some of our best music tracks that sound like the songs for car commercials. Watch the video below or jump straight to the playlist.
This playlist was inspired by listening to the songs used in some popular car commercials and adverts, like the most recent Buick, KIA, Subaru, and Nissan ads.
How to choose car commercial music?
If you’re a video editor or voice actor working on a car ad for your local car dealership, licensing popular songs (used by the top car manufacturers) can be complicated and way too expensive.

Nice playlist. For a freelancer, how much does it cost to license a good song for a car commercial?
The licensing cost can vary widely depending on several factors, most importantly the popularity of the song. A popular song by a famous recording artist will cost a lot, anywhere from a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars or more.
However, cost isn’t the only issue here. Negotiating the license can be a complex process, and there may be additional fees or royalties involved, such as synchronization rights, performance rights, and mechanical rights.
For a freelancer (if you’re working on a simple ad for a local car dealership, for example), hiring a music licensing agency or a music supervisor is clearly overkill. Getting music from a royalty free music library would make much more sense money wise.
For instance, we offer commercial licenses for a flat fee and you can choose from thousands of ready to use music tracks. More here: https://www.tunepocket.com/music-licensing/
Hope this helps!
