    After payment is received for direct purchase or subscription purchase, you will have the appropriate licensing documentation in hand. You are clear to sync the music with your production.

How the library works for you

Nearly every title, ready for the scene.

Nearly every title in the catalog works the same way, built so the version you need already exists.

  • 01

    The full theme, plus alternates

    Each title includes a theme version with all the instrumentation, and usually alternate versions with less instrumentation for quieter moments in the scene.

  • 02

    Broadcast lengths, included

    Most titles include edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, 15, and stingers, plus versions separated by sections or parts.

  • 03

    One standard license

    The standard license covers nearly every use. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. Contact us with a request for quote and we will respond quickly with a license that meets your requirements.

What every license includes

Background music for the edit the audience shouldn't notice.

  • 01

    Beds That Sit Under VO and Dialogue

    Underscore arranged so the voiceover wins. Mids carved out, rhythmic density tuned for narration, and length variants that loop cleanly without phasing. The bed disappears under the word — which is the whole job.

  • 02

    Cleared Master and Publishing at the Source

    Every track is master and publishing cleared by GMP — one license, one paper trail, in-perpetuity terms on standard licenses. No PRO chase, no third-party administrator, no second invoice from a publisher six months after delivery.

  • 03

    Every Format, Every Delivery

    Broadcast, streaming, OTT, paid digital, web, social, in-venue, and trade-show loops — all covered under standard scope. The license matches how a video actually gets used today, including the social cutdowns that come later.

  • 04

    A Deep Catalog for Every Video Project

    Sixty thousand tracks across cinematic, corporate, ambient, acoustic, and electronic — the working lanes video production runs in — with selections suited to edit-length variants out of the box.

FAQ for video producers

Common questions before licensing a cut.

Underscore and beds for video production — corporate explainers, brand films, case studies, training, internal comms, web content, product video, conference openers, and the long-form work that lives behind voiceover. This is cataloged production music for video, not pop tracks licensed to dress a music video. Master and publishing are cleared at the source for that production use.

Yes. Standard licenses cover broadcast, OTT, streaming, paid digital, web, social, in-venue, and trade-show loops — the full delivery footprint a modern video actually runs through. The same license covers the social cutdowns and recap edits that ship later.

Standard licenses are a single flat fee tied to scope — internal use, web and social, broadcast, and full multi-platform commercial campaigns each price differently. Your specialist quotes the exact scope your production needs, usually the same business day.

GMP is a licensed production music library. Master and publishing are cleared at the source, and the standard license comes with in-perpetuity terms — one fee, one license, full clearance.

Our composers are affiliated with BMI and ASCAP, and broadcast performance reporting happens in the normal way. Performance royalties flow through the PROs to the writers — separate from your license. For non-broadcast use, there is nothing to file.

Yes. Most tracks ship with a full theme, alternate versions with less instrumentation, and edits at 60, 30, 15, and bumper lengths.

The library spans roughly sixty thousand tracks across cinematic, corporate, ambient, acoustic, and electronic, and grows weekly. If your first search comes up short, tell us about your project and we'll help you find the music you need.

About licensing background music for video

Background music for video, written to serve the picture.

Background music for video is a working format, not a genre. The job looks the same across most of the long-form video that ships out of production studios every week — an underscore that holds an emotional arc, a bed that sits under voiceover or dialogue without competing for the mids, edit-length variants that the editor can drop into a 60, a 30, a 15, and a bumper without re-cueing, and a license that clears for everywhere the final video might land. That is the shape of the work, and that is the slice of the GMP catalog this page is about.

The category covers the full range of video production — brand films and corporate explainers, case studies and customer stories, training and internal communications, product launches and event recap reels, conference content and trade-show loops, web video, OTT inserts, and the social cutdowns that always come after. What ties it together is the role music plays: serving the picture, not headlining it. The producer who searches for background music for video is not looking for a pop placement or a band's music video license — they are looking for an underscore that does its job and gets out of the way.

The GMP library is sixty thousand tracks deep across cinematic, corporate, acoustic, ambient, and electronic — the working lanes most video work lives in. Tracks are tagged and arranged for the way editors actually cut: long-form arrangement pieces with intros that build, mid-sections that hold steady under voiceover, and resolution swells that land on the picture's final beat. Most cues ship with 60s, 30s, 15s, and bumper versions out of the box, plus alternate mixes with less instrumentation that sit cleanly under narration.

Every track is master and publishing cleared at the source. That clearance is the part of music licensing that breaks first when a production uses the wrong library — and the part that costs the most to fix downstream. GMP's standard license covers broadcast, streaming, OTT, paid digital, web, social, and in-venue use under in-perpetuity terms, with a single fee and a single license. There is no third-party publisher to chase, no separate master administrator, and no second invoice arriving after the campaign has already shipped.

GMP has been writing and licensing production music since 1989. is a licensed production music library. Every track comes with clear documentation and chain of title — the paperwork platforms, legal teams, and rights reviews accept. One standard license covers nearly every use, so licensing stays clean and simple, and the rights are settled before the work grows.
