27 Best Girl Songs For Instagram Stories

How do you pick the perfect song for your Instagram Stories? There are far too many songs and so little time. It’s just so hard!

You’ve got to find a popular, trendy song that gives off the right vibes, and preferably doesn’t give people the wrong idea or send the wrong message either, am I right ladies?

Well, don’t worry, because we’ve done your homework for you. Here we look at the best girl songs for Instagram Stories.

“Calm Down” by Rema, Selena Gomez

Song year: 2022

While it was originally released as a Rema solo track, the addition of Selena Gomez is what made it come alive. I think you’ll agree – the harmonies alone are quite captivating.

The song itself is very simple, repetitive, and chill. That makes it perfect for relaxed Sunday vibes posts. You could also post it as a tribute to your significant other if you’re feeling so bold.

“Glue Song” by beabadoobee

Song year: 2023

Gentle strumming accompanies baebadoobee’s barely enunciated vocals in “Glue Song,” a ballad that reminds us a bit of classic big band jazz tunes.

Turn to this tune when you’re feeling playful or even laid-back. Again, it can work perfectly as a love song too, if you want to send your significant other a little love note.

“About Damn Time” by Lizzo

Song year: 2022

For all those times you’re in the mood to dance… or maybe when you’ve been yearning for success that has finally arrived… or maybe when you’re finally starting to feel great in your own skin (which is the core message of the song).

Lizzo’s “About Damn Time” is an upbeat disco favorite, not just on Instagram, but also on TikTok, whether for dancing, showing some attitude, or celebrating a moment that has finally come. It’s time to choose your moment!

“Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift

Song year: 2019

Swifties rejoice at her every release. No surprise, then, that Taylor’s Swift “Cruel Summer” became an instant electropop hit, not to be confused with the famous song of the same name by Bananarama (which is also a neat tune so far as pop music is concerned)

This is a great song selection for summery vibes, trips to the beach, or even for capturing or revisiting wild summer night memories.

Of course, the literal meaning of the song is time spent with a difficult, two-faced lover. You can choose songs based on the feelings they give you, but it’s not a bad idea to get acquainted with the lyrics too, just in case.

“Kiss It Better” by Rihanna

Song year: 2016

Sultry and sexy. Rihanna’s “Kiss It Better” has got those passionate, late-night alone with a lover vibes. If you’re thinking about posting something introspective or romantic, this song should fit the bill. If you’re especially bold, you could post it to celebrate your boyfriend or girlfriend.

It’s also a worthy selection for those times you need to pamper yourself.

“Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey

Song year: 2013

The dramatic and masterful Lana Del Rey sings “Young and Beautiful,” a song in which the narrator repeatedly asks her lover whether she will still be loved when she is no longer young and beautiful (and concludes that she will be!).

If you’re feeling introspective, or if you’re longing for something, this might just be the tune you need for your Instagram Story. It could be a great choice for vintage vibes too.

“Bejeweled” by Taylor Swift

Song year: 2022

Taylor Swift’s moody and evocative synthpop of “Bejeweled” is the very definition of self-important bubblegum pop. But hey, we all like to feel important now and again, don’t we?

For all those times you’re feeling silly, special, or even whimsical, this is a great song selection. It could be a great tune for makeup tutorials or try-on hauls too.

“Smooth Operator” by Sade

Song year: 1984

Sade’s “Smooth Operator” is a true classic, and it’s a song that’s bound to fit a variety of post types.

If you’re in the mood for a sultry dance… if you’re all dressed up with nowhere to go… if you’re sitting alone at a classy lounge… if you’re taking a relaxing drive at night with the windows down… there are just so many possibilities.

Of course, you could lean more heavily on the literal meaning of the song too and use it for a picture with your boyfriend or girlfriend, if you think they’re a “smooth operator.”

“Good Days” by SZA

Song year: 2020

With a trendy vocal style and beat, SZA’s “Good Days” is a mellow tune about a relationship that’s going sideways… though the narrator is choosing to dwell on the positive side of things – thus, “Good Days.”

This can be a great tune for moody, introspective posts, hopeful posts, reflective posts, and the like.

“Everyday” by Ariana Grande ft. Future

Song year: 2016

Feel-good vibes dominate Ariana Grande’s upbeat “Everyday,” a sexy song about having and enjoying a great lover.

If you’re feeling sexy… if you’re getting mad make-out vibes… if every day feels like the best day ever… if you’re enjoying your significant other… there are just so many possibilities here.

Essentially, when you’re getting what you want and you’re feeling on top of the world, there’s “Everyday.”
