Your beat title is the #1 factor in whether your beat gets discovered in search. A strong, descriptive title increases plays, clicks, and sales by helping artists instantly understand what your beat sounds like and who it’s for.


 Why Your Title Matters

  • It affects search visibility on BeatStars, YouTube, and Google
  • It shapes first impressions before the listener hits “play”
  • It’s a branding tool—you can build a signature naming style


 The Best Beat Title Formula

[Mood/Genre] + [“Type Beat”] + [Artist Names]


 What to Include

  1. Mood/Style Descriptor
    • Dark, emotional, smooth, aggressive, chill, ambient, sad, spacey
  2. Genre or Beat Type
    • Trap, R&B, Drill, Lo-fi, Afrobeat, Boom Bap, Piano Type Beat
  3. Artist Name(s)
    • Include 1–3 artists whose sound your beat matches
    • Use trending or relevant names (but avoid clickbait)


 What to Avoid

  • One-word or vague titles like “Untitled” or “Fire Beat”
  • Misleading artist names (don’t label a boom bap beat as a “Lil Baby type”)
  • Overusing ALL CAPS or symbols: “CRAZY BEAT”
  • Repeating the same title style for every beat without variation


 Bonus Tip: Test Your Titles

  • Search your own title in BeatStars—do relevant results come up?
  • Watch how similar titles perform on YouTube and BeatStars search
  • Use keywords that describe the sound AND match artist searches


 Advanced Strategy: Use a Naming Template

Create a template you follow for every beat:

[Adjective] + [Genre] + “Type Beat” – [Vibe Word] x [Artist1] x [Artist2]


 Final Thought:

Beat titles are your hook in the digital marketplace. Make them clear, descriptive, and optimized for discovery—just like a headline for a hit song.
