When you share a photo or video to your story, you may be able to add a clip of a song that will play during your story. You may also see the option to add music lyrics for select songs.

Add music to your story

  1. Open the Facebook app for iOS or Android.
  2. Tap Create story at the top of your Feed.
  3. Tap Music at the top of the screen.
  4. Tap to select a song. If you want to display music lyrics, select a song with the Lyrics label next to it.
  5. Tap to open the music editor.
  6. Drag the slider left or right to select a clip from the song, then tap Done.
  7. Tap to select a display style (example: Aa) then tap Done. You can choose music lyrics if they're available for your selected song, or different sticker formats with the song name and artist.
  8. The song will appear on your story. You can tap to change the style, tap and hold to move it, or use two fingers to rotate it or change the size. To remove the song, drag it to at the bottom of the screen.
  9. Tap the circle at the right of the screen (example: ) to change the background or add a photo or video from your camera roll.

At this time, music can't be added to text stories.
Note: If music rights change on Facebook, and you've added a song to your story that Meta no longer has the rights to, your story will be muted or blocked from being viewed by other people. Other photos and videos that don’t have the music won’t be affected. Learn more on the Meta Business Help Center.
