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 upbeat classic is trending again with creators using it to humorously show off how they “look busy” at work.
How it works:
Film yourself pretending to be super busy: walking fast, typing aggressively, or carrying papers.
Example uses:
“Walk fast through the office”
“Type loudly on your keyboard”
Great for:
Creators sharing workplace humor
Office or remote work content
This dreamy Mazzy Star track is the perfect backdrop for content that feels cinematic and nostalgic.
How it works:
Overlay the audio on your favorite clips that feel like “main character moments.”
Example uses:
Hanging with friends
A dreamy travel montage
Soft, sentimental content
Great for:
Lifestyle creators
Travel influencers
Romantic, emotional storytelling
Pro Tip: Use slow motion or soft filters for added dreamy effect.
Creators in heels balance on impossible objects (think cans of beans, random books, weights) on one leg! It’s a visually impressive trend (but I worry about all of your ankles!).
How it works:
Film yourself (or someone else) balancing in heels on unstable surfaces. Simple as that.
Example uses:
Balance on a random object that you might be trying to sell and/or to show off your impressive skills
Combine with outfits or GRWM content
Great for:
Fashion and performance creators
Fitness fans with killer balance
Pro Tip: Safety first! Pick safe surfaces or just play into the chaos.
Still riding the wave of the “Coldplay couple” meme (RIP), this sound works for dramatic, funny, or emotional reveals.
How it works:
Add this song over footage where you’re being discovered doing something you’re not supposed to be doing.
Example uses:
“POV: you said you wouldn’t eat the snack … and here we are.”
Great for:
Anyone with a sense of humor
Lifestyle and food creators
This mellow, slightly moody track is a flexible background for nearly any type of video.
How it works:
Add the sound to day-in-the-life videos, OOTDs, or personal storytelling.
Example uses:
Daily routine
Fashion transitions
Candid thoughts or life updates
Great for:
Creators of any niche
B-roll and casual vloggers
Use this nostalgic Madonna hit to confess how you’ve become “uncool” over time.
How it works:
Write on-screen: “I used to be cool but now I say things like…” and finish with your admission.
Example uses:
“Do you want to split a pastry?”
“Let’s be in bed by 9pm.”
Great for:
Creators with a sense of humor
Relatable content
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.
This trend features two people holding up signs (one serious, one funny!) and then flipping to reveal a professional message. It's fun, relatable, and great for businesses looking to insert humor.
How it works:
Start with a sign that says "We’re looking for." The second person holds up a humorous option, then flips it to the actual message.
Example uses:
“We’re looking for…” / “A sugar daddy with a boat” then flips to “a new catering manager”
“We’re hiring” / “Someone who brings snacks” then flips to “a client experience manager”
Great for:
Hiring announcements
Promotional posts with humor
Pro Tip: Keep it light-hearted and visually clear. Signs should be easy to read and the transition timed to the music.
This sound has become popular for travel content, especially around the ocean. The color blue and the sea are front and center.
How it works:
Use the text: “What’s your favorite color? Me:” and then cut to a beautiful beach, flowers, food, etc.
Example uses:
Travel content
Vacation rentals
Summer campaigns
Great for:
Travel brands
Hotels and Airbnbs
Tourism businesses
This sound is trending for its stress-relieving tone. Use it to show what takes you from overwhelmed to blissed out.
How it works:
Start with “99 problems” text, which counts down to 0. Overlay this countdown on top of a video or photo of something that takes your problems away.
Example uses:
Countdown on top of cocktails on a Friday
Countdown on top of yoga on the beach
Great for:
Food & drink
Fashion & wellness
Travel & events
This sound mimics a video game character selection screen. A fun, energetic way to showcase your team members.
How it works:
Use the “choose your character” audio to present each teammate with a pose or funny expression. Add titles or roles if you like.
Example uses:
Office introductions
Restaurant staff features
Great for:
Company culture content
Hiring and team bonding posts
