Everyone has seen the stories of Millennials singing along to songs on social media, and to assist them, Instagram launched a lyric sticker. The feature will display lyrics on the platform's stories, in video or Boomerang formats, to help fans sing along and will be especially popular with Millennial and Gen Z consumers.
The feature is launched in conjunction with Instagram Music. It debuted with pop icon Billie Eilish, who was in the demo video for the Music sticker in story lyrics. The feature is easy to use -- once a song has been picked, the lyrics will appear to whichever segment of the song you'd like to play. The lyrics have various animation styles to allow users to be as creative as desired. The new feature is available anywhere with Instagram Music including the US, Germany, and France.
