Deezer, the global streaming service, now lets music fans express exactly how they feel through song lyrics on Instagram Stories. Starting today, Deezer users across the world can instantly post many of their favourite song lyrics from the streaming service’s 53 million tracks.

Music fans using the Deezer mobile player can tap the ‘Lyrics’ symbol to view lyrics and share with their followers. Users will then be able to select and crop lyrics, while listening to their song uninterrupted. Once the user is satisfied with their selection, they will be redirected to Instagram’s ‘Story Mode’ for immediate posting. 

Deezer’s Instagram Sharing features also include:  

• Ability to share up to 5 lines of lyrics direct to Instagram Stories
