Make a karaoke video of “Wicked Games” by The Weeknd
It’s the #48 most-played song in the US right now, which means people are going to request it. Here’s how to build a clean, synced karaoke video of it in D107 — from a recording you’re allowed to use.

The build, in four steps
From request to karaoke MP4 in about fifteen minutes.
- 01
Get audio you're allowed to use
Your own cover or band recording of "Wicked Games", or a licensed instrumental from a backing-track store that states YouTube/sync rights. D107 never downloads or strips the original The Weeknd master — that would need a license you don't have.
- 02
Write the lyric sheet
Plain text, one line per sung phrase, choruses written out every time they're sung. Use licensed lyrics or your own transcription of your recording. Optional: run it through Copilot to clean casing and split run-ons.
- 03
Drop both into the Builder and proof
The Builder lays each line onto your waveform locally. Play verse one — nudge if a line lands late, and the whole tail follows. Check the chorus and the ending.
- 04
Pick a stage preset and export
Dark stage, big type, next line dimmed. Export 1920×1080 H.264 MP4. Title it "Wicked Games – The Weeknd | Karaoke Version with Lyrics" and add the key.
R&B/Soul tip
Melisma stretches one word across bars. Line-level wipe handles it; don't try to time syllables.
Rights, plainly: this page is a how-to. It contains no audio, no lyrics and no download of “Wicked Games”. You bring a recording and lyric sheet you own or license. Read the copyright basics.
