Mellow Mosaic: the lofi song from the Reels

The warm, slow track under so many Instagram Reels and TikToks since February. Where to hear it, how it spread, and whether you can use it.

If you found this page after hearing a warm, slow lofi track under an Instagram Reel or a TikTok, it was probably Mellow Mosaic. It's a Neural Rhythms track released on 25 October 2025, and it has been turning up under videos since February 2026.

Mellow Mosaic, lofi by Neural Rhythms

Where to listen

  • Apple Music, under Neural Rhythms. An older copy of the song, on the album Market Cadence, showed CodeWithKolin, another name from the same studio. It's the same track.
  • Spotify
  • Right here on the site, with the rest of its album queued behind it.

Sending it to someone? The short link neuralrhythms.io/listen opens the song in whichever music app they use.

How it got around

Nobody pitched it anywhere. Mellow Mosaic spread the way lofi usually does now: someone picked it from the music library for a Reel, other people liked the sound and used it too, and Spotify's own recommendations (Daylist, Mixes, Radio) started playing it to people with similar taste. Its use on Instagram and Facebook grew every month from February to July 2026.

Can I use it in my video?

If you're a creator, yes. It's free for your YouTube videos, streams, podcasts and social posts, monetized ones included. Put this line in your description: Music: Neural Rhythms · neuralrhythms.io. You can download the MP3 here, or pick it from the music library inside Instagram or TikTok on a personal or creator account. The track is registered with YouTube's Content ID, so a video can get an automatic claim; if that happens, send it to us and we clear it.

If you're a business, you need a license. Business accounts can't use most library music, and brand posts with unlicensed music can be muted. The Mellow Mosaic licenses start at $29 and include the WAV master.

What to play next

People who like Mellow Mosaic tend to play the rest of its album: Cello Whispers, Silk Road Serenade, Dorian Dawn, Resolved Rhythms. The closest room in the library is lofi jazz for a cozy apartment evening, and the radio plays it all day.
