Background music for your videos: pick music that fits your video type

The most-used background music for storytelling, emotional, educational and daily vlog videos.

Short answer

The most-used background music for storytelling, emotional, educational and daily vlog videos in a single list: the 12 songs in the video, a 46-track list and a 60-track library sorted by mood, all with YouTube links. Since most of the songs are copyrighted, adding them to Reels from Instagram's own audio library is the safest way.

  1. Choose your video type.

    The list is split into four types: storytelling, emotional, educational and daily vlog. The 12 songs in the video are three examples from each type; click a song title and it opens on YouTube.

  2. Browse the library by mood.

    In addition to the 46-track list, the 60-track library is sorted by mood. Pick the one that fits your video's pace and narration.

  3. Check the copyright.

    Most of these songs are copyrighted. On business accounts, audio that isn't in Instagram's music library may be muted. The safest option is to add the song to your Reel from Instagram's own audio library.
