(KTLA) — A new feature announced by Instagram on Thursday is reminiscent of the early days of social media.
The social media company announced that Instagram profiles will now include a music feature similar to one Myspace had in the early 2000s.
“We’re excited to announce that you can now add a song to your profile, giving you more ways to express yourself through music. Your profile song selection will be live until you swap out the song,” Instagram said in a post.
Unlike Myspace, the song won’t automatically play; profile viewers can decide to play or stop the track.
To use the feature, users can add a song by going to the “edit profile” page. There, they can search for and select a track from Instagram’s library of licensed music and select a 30-second-long portion of the song to add.
Instagram is launching the feature in collaboration with pop star Sabrina Carpenter. Beginning Thursday, Carpenter’s official Instagram account will now include a never-before-heard teaser of her upcoming single “Taste” ahead of her album release Friday.
Instagram says the profile music feature is the only way to hear the song before the full release.
