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.
This portion of Charli XCX’s song is trending for its dramatic, relatable moment where you see or hear something you don't want to deal with, and immediately bail.
