(November 24, 2025) Instagram viral songs and sounds
I run by Haven
“I Run” is showing up a lot on Instagram right now, especially in quick edits and routine-style videos.
When you use this sound, start with clips that show movement, such as running, walking through your morning, or working on a goal.
CHANEL by Tyla
“CHANEL” is perfect for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content, but it can also work for posts like the one below. Yes, it’s a carousel about AI image prompts, but the images and the overall style feel very editorial, which still connects back to the fashion reference.
Tyla’s song also works for outfit changes, GRWMs, and simple transformation clips.
Carefree Days by Peaceful Reveries
“Carefree Days” is popular for calm, aesthetic reels. It fits well with morning routines, slow travel clips, cozy at-home moments, or anything with a relaxed pace.
Choose visuals that feel simple and natural. Slow pans, warm lighting, and minimal movement work well with the sound.
The sound is also used in Christmas and holiday-themed videos, adding a soft, nostalgic feel to festive content.
White Xmas by Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter’s version of “White Christmas” is trending for holiday content of all kinds.
It works well for decorating, baking, gift wrapping, showing cozy winter setups, or presenting holiday collections and promotions.

Goodies by Ciara
Ciara’s Goodies is trending on Instagram, and people are using it for all kinds of fun clips.

Only You by The Platters
Only You by The Platters is trending on Instagram and TikTok. People use it for romantic or sweet moments, but it can also be totally funny. In the example below, the song is used to contrast the moment when the problem at work asks you what the problem is. The lyric “only you” fits perfectly.
It’s nothing like a romantic encounter, but it makes the clip hilarious.
Your Love by Nicki Minaj
This trend is all about a funny little reveal. One person talks about how great someone is (e.g., smart, funny, or talented), and the other person suddenly points out that they’re actually the person.
For example:
“I heard the CEO of this company is really smart.”
“Wait… aren’t you the CEO?”
The setup stays the same in every video, but the roles and companies change. Use this trend to introduce people from your team.

Clumsy by Fergie

The beat change is perfect for that split second when everything’s going fine, until work steps in. Like in the example below, where a new task pops up just as they start scrolling on their phone.
The song can also be used to showcase those relatable slow-to-realize moments we all go through. Think figuring out something hours later or realizing you’ve been doing something wrong the whole time.
Forever by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Eminem
“Forever” is the soundtrack for celebrating wins, big or small. People use it for moments when they feel on top of the world. In the example below, the song plays as the employee walks into work after getting praised in a client review.
It’s also great for making funny videos about small and relatable wins, like finally folding the laundry right away instead of letting it sit for days.
See You Again by Tyler, The Creator (feat. Kali Uchis)
While “See You Again” has a dreamy, romantic vibe to it, people are also using it for jokes. In the example below, two friends are at a bar, and one asks the other if he sees the two brunettes who are looking at them. When the camera pans, it’s actually two beers.
You can also use the song to show moments that feel special, like hanging out with friends, spending time with a partner, or just playing with a pet. It’s also popular for aesthetic clips, like outfits, travel shots, or little everyday moments that look nice on camera.
