How to choose the perfect song for your Instagram Stories? Too many songs, too little time. It’s so difficult!
You have to find a song that’s trendy, trendy, has the right vibes, and ideally doesn’t give people the wrong idea or send the wrong message, am I right ladies?
Well, don’t worry because we’ve done the homework for you. Here we take a look at the best girl songs for Instagram Stories.
“Calm Down” by Rema and Selena Gomez
Song year: 2022
While it was originally released as a solo Rema track, Selena Gomez’s addition brought it to life. I think you’ll agree – the harmonies alone are pretty captivating.
The song itself is very simple, repetitive, and grim. This makes it perfect for a relaxed Sunday vibe post. If you’re bold enough, you can also post it as a tribute to your significant other.
“The Glue Song” by beabadoobee
Song year: 2023
Gentle strumming accompanies baebadoobee’s barely intelligible vocals on “Glue Song,” a ballad that reminds us of some classic big band jazz tunes.
Play this tune when you’re feeling playful or even laid-back. Then again, it also works perfectly as a love song if you want to send a little love note to your significant other.
“About Damn Time” by Lizzo
Song year: 2022
It’s all of those times when you’re in the mood to dance…or maybe when the success you’ve been craving finally arrives…or maybe when you finally start to feel awesome in your own skin (that’s the core message of the song).
Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” is an upbeat disco song that’s popular not only on Instagram, but also on TikTok, whether it’s for dancing, expressing an attitude, or celebrating the moment that has finally arrived. It’s time to choose your moment!
“Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift
Song year: 2019
Swifties rejoice in every one of her releases. It’s no surprise, then, that Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” became an instant electro-pop anthem, not to be confused with Bananarama’s famous song of the same name (which is also a neat tune as far as pop music goes)
This is a great song choice for summer vibes, beach trips, or even capturing or reliving memories of wild summer nights.
Of course, the song is literally about spending time with a difficult, duplicitous person. You can choose songs based on how they make you feel, but it’s not a bad idea to familiarize yourself with the lyrics just in case.
“Kiss It Better” by Rihanna
Song year: 2016
Sultry and sexy. Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better” brings a passionate, lover’s vibe to late-night alone time. If you’re thinking about posting something introspective or romantic, this song should be for you. If you’re feeling particularly bold, you can post it to celebrate your boyfriend or girlfriend.
It’s also a worthy option for those times when you need to treat yourself.
“Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey
Song year: 2013
The dramatic and masterful Lana Del Rey sings “Young and Beautiful,” in which the narrator repeatedly asks her lover if she will still be loved when she is no longer young and beautiful (and comes to the conclusion : She will! ).
If you’re feeling introspective, or you’re craving something, this might be just the tune you need for your Instagram Story. It can also be a great choice for a retro vibe.
Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled”
Song year: 2022
Taylor Swift’s moody, evocative synth-pop “Bejeweled” is the very definition of self-righteous bubblegum pop. But hey, we all like to feel important every now and then, don’t we?
This is a great song choice for when you’re feeling silly, special, or even whimsical. This could also be a great tune for makeup tutorials or fittings.
Sade’s “Smooth Operator”
Song year: 1984
Sade’s “Smooth Operator” is a true classic, a song destined to suit every post type.
If you want to have a sexy dance party…if you dress up and have nowhere to go…if you sit alone in an elegant lounge…if you drive in the evening relaxing with the windows open…the possibilities are many .
Of course, if you think your boyfriend or girlfriend is a “smooth operator,” you can also rely more on the literal meaning of the song and use it to pose with your boyfriend or girlfriend.
“Good Days” by SZA
Song year: 2020
Featuring a stylish vocal style and rhythm, SZA’s “Good Days” is a mellow tune about a relationship that’s going sideways… though the narrator chooses to focus on the positive side of things – hence, “Good Days.”
This could be a good tone for moody, introspective posts, hopeful posts, reflective posts, etc.
“Everyday” by Ariana Grande ft. Future
Song year: 2016
Full of feel-good vibes, Ariana Grande’s upbeat “Everyday” is a sexy song about having and enjoying a great lover.
If you feel sexy…if you have crazy making out feelings…if every day feels like the best day ever…if you enjoy your significant other…there are so many possibilities here.
Essentially, when you get what you want and feel like you’re on top of the world, that’s “every day.”
