Conclusion

You can even add music to your Instagram stories without using the Instagram stickers using Apple Music, Spotify, Soundcloud, and other apps. However, by using these apps you will not be able to directly play the song in your Instagram story. But by tapping on your story, your Instagram followers will be redirected to the respective app and play that particular song in that app. If you want to add lyrics in the Instagram story directly, without using the music sticker, then you can try a few Instagram lyrics story apps like story beat and musixmatch. The “Instagram lyrics story app” lets you choose a variety of songs from their directory and use it directly to add lyrics to Instagram stories.

Adding music and lyrics to your Instagram stories is a great way to elevate your content and make it unique. Hopefully, this article helped you in taking your stories to the next level.
