How to Make Background Music for Social Media Videos


With a whopping 80% of users who would rather watch brand videos than reading blog posts, it’s no surprise the video format is conquering social media. The right background track can add to the mood, elicit an emotional response and captivate the viewer. The more engaging the video, the more engaged the audience - more likes, comments, followers, and clients.

One of the ways to get authentic backing tracks for your videos on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms, is using instrumentals from songs. Not all songs have got vocal-free versions, especially by lesser-known artists, but you can extract instrumental stems from any song with LALAL.AI, the nextgen background music maker.
