For Creators on Instagram
These are the current sounds and songs making the rounds on Instagram this week. If you’re a content creator or a normie (hi, it me!) and want to make a cute Reel with a trending sound, these are the ones to use.
Brands + Businesses Beware: These songs could get you in trouble if you use them. Depending on how your account is set up on Instagram, you might not even have the option to use these sounds.
HOP NOW 👀
I love this song and always will! It’s trending again because creators are using it to match everything from aesthetic summer moments to everyday wins.
How it works: There’s no set trend format here; use this track as the uplifting backdrop to whatever makes you happy. Outfit checks, sunny adventures, chill day-in-the-life content, or even face-to-camera storytelling all work perfectly with this sound
Great for: Travel content, OOTDs or GRWM, day-in-the-life, etc.
NEW 🔥
With a playful, carefree vibe, it’s the perfect audio for anyone wanting to relive their latest trip or share a dreamy travel recap.
How it works: Pair this audio with a sequence of short clips or photos from your recent holiday. At the beginning, when 'VACATION' is being spelled out, use a series of quick clips from your trip that then extend into longer clips. You don’t need a storyline, just incredible visuals (which I know you have as you were just on holiday … jealous).
Great for: Travel creators, vacation recaps, lifestyle creators
TAKING OFF 🚀
This is JUST taking off, so be sure to hop on it quickly. With its quick beat and catchy vibe, it’s ideal for short, engaging clips that grab attention and keep people watching.
How it works: Use this audio as the background for quick, snappy visuals. Think 1–2 second cuts that match the rhythm of the beat.
Great for: B-roll, OOTDs, GRWMs, travel clips, cooking, dancing, fitness, whatever!
For Brands + Businesses on Instagram
The current trending audio and sounds that anyone on Instagram can use. Yes, all songs and sounds below are safe for brands and businesses. I’m not here to put anyone into Instagram jail.
HOP NOW 👀
This audio is trending for being hilariously relatable. It perfectly captures the brain isn’t here!!!! feeling we all have at the end of a long week (or a random Tuesday). It’s ideal for creators and brands who want to show some real, unfiltered burnout or brain fart moments.
How it works: Use this sound to highlight those totally blank, brain-fried, or over-it moments. You can keep it simple with a text overlay like:
“Me trying to remember why I walked into the room.”
“When someone asks what I’ve been working on all week.”
Add a clip of you staring into the void, blinking slowly, or doing something random
Great for: Freelancers at the end of the week, students during finals, office life, hospitality workers dealing with customers
Creators are using it to highlight the illusion of time off, only to reveal they’re still working. It’s quick, relatable, and especially funny for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and anyone with a work-anywhere mentality.
How it works: Use the beat to cut between your weekday work outfit and your weekend work outfit. But shocker: they’re both work!!! It’s a humorous way to show that no matter the day, you’re always on the clock.
Great for: Freelancers, retail or service businesses, start-ups, social media managers
NEW 🔥
It starts with the line “I’ve noticed you around…” and is being used by creators and brands to directly address their audience with a casual but persuasive callout.
How it works: Start your Reel with the audio’s opening line and text overlay:
“I’ve noticed you around…”
Then cut to:
“And I’ve got exactly what you’re looking for: [insert product/service/offer here].”
Use it to highlight your best-seller, new launch, or signature offer. It’s great for positioning yourself as the solution to the problem your audience didn’t know they had.
Great for: Local businesses, service providers, creators selling digital products
TAKING OFF 🚀
The perfect sound to use over text that asks a question about something you really, really want to do, but have to pretend that you don’t want to do.
How it works: Start your Reel with on-screen text that poses a question, usually about something you obviously want to say yes to. Then layer the audio over your exaggerated “Noooo,” showing that you’re not fooling anyone.
Great for: Food creators, travel brands, service providers, absolutely anyone!!
This is the perfect audio to be the background music of any upbeat video you have!
How it works: There really is no specific format, so it’s easy to use! Use it as a background track for short clips that show off your content. Think: B-roll, product highlights, behind-the-scenes, etc!
Great for: B-Roll, OOTDs, lifestyle content, talking to camera, day in the life, fitness creators
For Creators on TikTok
HOP NOW 👀
Yes, it’s still trending, and for good reason. This Black Eyed Peas classic brings high energy, feel-good vibes, and pure fun to any TikTok. It’s being used daily across niches, so while the trend is crowded, it's also high-reward when done right.
How it works: Use this track to highlight something that makes you feel good! Whether it’s your outfit, a product, a transformation, or anything in between, it’s the chance to show it off in a fun way.
Great for: Fashion and beauty creators, OOTDs, day in the life, small businesses
I love this one so much! It’s the perfect way to highlight the things that define you. As the phrase “If you ever think about me” plays in the background, creators overlay the screen with a list of traits, habits, or passions that people associate with them.
How it works: Use the sound to create a TikTok with a photo of you, or a video of you working, walking, sipping coffee, etc., and layer text on the screen listing things that make you you, AKA: the things people think of when they think of you.
Example text ideas:
Iced coffee runs
Posting trend alerts before they’re trends
Living in Canva & Notion
Saying “I’ll just rest for 10 mins”
Great for: EVERYONE!!
HOT 🔥
This trend is short, funny, and super easy to recreate. It’s all about lying to someone on the phone by saying “Sorry, wrong number,” when in reality, you’re just avoiding someone.
How it works: Film yourself pretending to answer a call, then lip sync the phrase “Sorry, wrong number.” The punchline comes from the on-screen text, where you explain the ridiculous reason you’d pretend not to know the caller.
Great for: Small business owners poking fun at clients, creators sharing relatable content
TAKING OFF 🚀
This sound is fun, flirty, and just the right amount of chaotic. It’s perfect for showing off that "going out" energy (whether you're hitting the town with friends or simply serving a look for the vibes). It’s been popping up on TikTok everywhere.
How it works: Use the audio to showcase your A+ outfit and set the mood for your Friday night. Whether it’s a mirror selfie, a glam transition, or a montage of pre-game to party moments, this sound captures the exact feeling of getting ready to go out and feeling yourself.
Great for: Fashion and beauty creators, lifestyle influencers, happy hour content
For Brands + Businesses on TikTok
HOP NOW 👀
This iconic line from Notting Hill (“I’m just a girl…”) has been revived as a perfectly dramatic, tongue-in-cheek way to get out of doing things you simply don’t want to do. It’s being used to hilarious effect by creators and brands alike to showcase those “but I’m just a girl!!!” moments.
How it works: Start your video with a setup, something you're expected to do but absolutely hate or want to avoid. Then, cut to the audio “I’m just a girl…” with your excuse or dramatic reaction.
Great for: Service-based businesses, team accounts, product-based brands joking about tedious tasks
This fun, fast-paced audio features someone enthusiastically saying, “Approved, approved, approved … excellent argument!” It’s the perfect way to show off a series of items, looks, or moments that deserve a big thumbs-up. It’s energetic, affirming, and super versatile.
How it works: Use this audio to highlight a collection of things, each one getting its own moment of "approval." Cut to different clips or photos on each “approved,” then end with a standout moment or favorite as the “excellent argument.”
Great for: Fashion brands, e-commerce shops, beauty creators, restaurants, anyone showing a variety of things in one go
HOT 🔥
This audio is painfully relatable, especially for anyone who works in customer service, retail, or office settings. It features a series of overly chipper “Hi, how are you?” greetings in that classic small talk tone we all know too well. It's the perfect sound for showcasing how repetitive and performative those interactions can feel.
How it works: Use this audio with on-screen text that describes how robotic or exhausting small talk has become for you. It works best when paired with footage of you zoning out, faking a smile, or clearly over it. The more deadpan your visuals, the better the contrast with the upbeat audio.
Great for: Retail workers, office employees, anyone who works in a people-heavy job
TAKING OFF 🚀
This audio is all about calling out obvious pet peeves—things that everyone universally dislikes, yet someone still feels the need to state dramatically. It’s sarcastic, relatable, and a perfect way to poke fun at those “hot takes” that really aren’t hot at all.
How it works: Lip sync to the audio. It starts with “My pet peeve is…” and writes on the screen something people say is a pet peeve … that everyone thinks is a pet peeve. Ex: My pet peeve is when people say they hate Meta Business Suite. No one likes Meta Business Suite.”
Great for: Social media managers calling out truths, small businesses making fun of customers, and anyone who has a niche frustration!
This audio is fun, chaotic, and perfectly captures that oversharing energy when someone casually drops way too much information. It features someone saying they have seven boyfriends, and they’re not even sure they like any of them. Naturally, it’s being used to comedic effect across tons of niches.
How it works: Use this audio in one of two main ways:
As a “life update” after not talking to someone in a while, like a friend catching you up on their absolutely unhinged situationship status.
As background audio for overhearing someone say something wild (e.g., at work, in a coffee shop, or at the nail salon).
Great for: Retail/food/service businesses overhearing convos, Personal creators doing POV-style updates
