Back in 2019, Instagram introduced a Lyrics feature which added dynamic lyrics in addition to its original music feature. Users have been patiently waiting for this feature to expand onto Facebook, and it’s finally here. Now, Facebook has launched an evolution to the Music Sticker, integrating dynamic lyrics to their music experience with Lyrics on Facebook Stories. Here’s how to use it…
How To Use Lyrics on Facebook Stories
When your fans use the music sticker and select your song from Audio Library, they’ll be able to select the exact part of the song they want to use to visually enhance their Stories post while giving you well deserved exposure on your track. For you, this feature is a great way to make that new release announcement in style or show more love to that dope collab you recently did with another great artist.
As long as you’ve made your lyrics available via Musixmatch, you (and your fans) will have the ability to select your track(s) and choose from a variety of lyric animations, font designs, and colors. And like all stickers, you can move the lyrics around, resize, and rotate them before finally sharing it to your story.
How to use it, step-by-step:
- Open the Facebook app for iOS or Android.
- Tap + Add to Story at the top of your News Feed.
- At the top of the screen, scroll to the right and tap Music.
- Tap to select a song. (Only songs with the LYRICS label next to it have this feature enabled.)
- Drag the slider left or right to select a clip from the song, then tap Done.
- Tap to select a display style, then tap Done.
- The song will now appear on your story — Now, you can tap to change the style, tap and hold to move it, or use two fingers to rotate it or change the size.
- Finally, go ahead and share your masterpiece to the world!
