Musical.ly was a Chinese social media platform that allowed users to create 15-second to 1-minute lip-sync videos. Launched in 2014 by Alex Zhu and Luyu Yang, the app became extremely popular among teenagers and young adults, reaching over 200 million users. The platform pioneered the short-form video format that would later dominate social media. In 2017, ByteDance acquired Musical.ly for approximately $1 billion and merged it with TikTok in 2018.
