Adding music to your profile is a great way to let friends and followers know the kind of songs that you like and listen to on a regular basis. It is a fun and immersive way to add context to your profile so that when friends visit your page they can opt to listen to your chosen songs while scrolling.
The play button for the song or for your chosen track is located towards the top of your profile, just underneath your profile picture.
It’s worth noting before we dive into the process of adding music, that all songs you add to your profile are public. This means that anyone who visits your profile can see the songs that you have linked on your profile, even if they’re not your friend.
Without further ado, and with all this in mind, let’s take a look at the steps you need to take to add a song or music to your profile.
5 Steps to Add Music to Your Profile
- Click on the menu button in the bottom right hand corner of the home screen on Facebook, and then select your name to navigate to your profile page
- Tap on the words ‘See Your About Info’ at the bottom of your Details section
- Scroll down through your personal information to the section titled ‘Music’
- Select ‘Add Music’
- Click on the plus sign icon in the top right hand corner of the screen
You will see a selection of songs that Facebook recommends to you based on your interests – or you can search for specific songs, artists, or pieces of music to link to your profile.
Tapping on a song will add it to your profile list.
Tips for Selecting the Best Music
The best music for your profile should reflect elements of your personality.
This could be your work, it could be a hobby or interest that you are known for, or it could be a song that really resonates with the life stage that you are at.
As each music selection can play for up to 90 seconds, make sure to select the part of the song that is more appropriate or applicable for you.
Finally, remember that editing or removing music is just as easy as adding music to your profile – so don’t be afraid to mix and match your song selection and change it up with the season.
We hope this helps!
