Music is a universal language. Every culture has music as it is only one of the very few things that can go far beyond words.
Here, the social giant Facebook tries to embrace music, by announcing that it's offering ways for users to incorporate songs into their on-site identities.
"Sometimes the right words to fit your mood, feeling, or personality can be hard to find," said Facebook that starts allowing users to listen to music on Stories and Profiles.
To do this, users just need to tap on the 'Music' sticker to select the song of their choice.
"Once you find the song you want to add, you can pick the perfect part to share and add the sticker with the artist and song name. Move the sticker around and add other stickers and effects to customize your story," said Facebook.
The feature works much the same as Instagram's music stickers for Stories
And allowing users to play songs on profile, is a move similar to Myspace.
The Music section on users' profile allows them to show what songs they are listening to. Users can also pin one of those songs to the top of their profile to show visitors what kind of mood they are in.
Visitors who open the Music section can also listen to short clips of any of the songs, as well as visit the artist's page.
According to Facebook:
Facebook has also expanded the Lip Sync Live to all profiles in many countries around the world.
The social media is also opening the feature to more artists and creators by expanding the it to Pages. This should give them more ways to connect with their fans.
Facebook has added lyrics to Lip Sync Live, based on users feedback. Initially, lyrics are available for songs, including Dua Lipa’s “New Rules,” Khalid’s “Better,” and “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5. Facebook claims that it will add more over time.
"Moments are remembered and accentuated with music, and we can’t wait to see all the ways people around the world get creative with these features, make memories, and have fun with friends and family," said Facebook.
To make all of these happen, Facebook seems to make the most out of its deals to license music from the likes of Sony, Universal Music Group and Warner Bros..
