Whilst your delivering the perfect marketing message, Instagram will overlay your chosen song onto your photo or video.

“You can also choose a song before capturing a video. When you open the camera, swipe to the new “Music” option under the record button. Search for a song, select the exact part you want, and record a video as the song plays in the background.”
