You Can Now Add Lyrics To Your Instagram Story

Instagram has announced new options for adding music to your Stories, including the option to add dynamic lyrics.

When creating Stories, you can browse through Instagram’s library of songs and choose one that best fits the context of your posts.

If lyrics are available for the song that is selected, they will automatically pop up, and they can be customized by tapping on them to change the animation and text style.

“Today we are bringing lyrics to the music sticker so you can express yourself and share the mood of any moment,” the company tweeted on Thursday.

According to Instagram’s linked help page, lyrics are only available for some songs on the platform.

“If lyrics are available for the song you select, you can choose different fonts and designs for them, and you can edit which part of the song you want to play,” it explained.

“When someone watches your story, they can tap the lyrics to learn more about the artist or listen to more of the song.”

The company also made the announcement alongside musician Billie Eilish, who showcased the feature in her own Instagram Stories feed.
