Netflix Documentary
If you haven't seen this trend yet, we're genuinely surprised. The concept is simple: film yourself walking into frame and sitting in a chair dead center, like you're about to be interviewed, then "prep" for it — clip on a mic, fix your hair, sip your coffee.
The text overlay does the real work: "me preparing for the Netflix documentary about ___" — fill in the blank with whatever makes sense for your niche. The more specific the blank, the harder it hits.

These audios may be a bit older…
But, they’re still great. If your audience is using eye creams and getting botox, then hey, there’s no shame in using these trending Instagram audios a little later than everyone else.
WHY DO TRENDING REELS AUDIO MATTER? 👇🏻
Reels Are Here To Stay
Do you notice your Instagram engagement increase after posting an Instagram Reel? We thought so, and you’re not the only one. In a world of short attention spans, these bite-sized videos grab your audience's focus and hold onto it.
Reels generate 140+ billion views per day, and Reels account for 46% of time spent on Instagram in 2025. They reach 36% more users than carousels and 125% more than photos.
Can’t argue with that.
Instagram users are getting lost in the Reels scroll – and we’re here for it.
What Is A Trending Audio on Instagram?
Now, let's get to the heart of the matter - the audio. When a sound or song is "trending" on Instagram, that means it's growing in popularity — which means that if used well, your Reel could be on the upward swing. You’ll know if a sound is trending by a tiny arrow next to the audio's name. ↓
Do Trending Audios Actually Matter?
Yes, and why should you care? Because the right trending Reels audio can turn a “pretty good” Reel into an unforgettable “holy sh*t” one. It sets the mood, enhances the vibe, and makes your content stand out in the crowded world of social media. Using a trending audio indicates to Instagram’s algorithm that your post will likely perform well, which means that your Reel will be shown to more users, more often.
Even Instagram’s very own @creators account shares trending audios, and that’s how you know it’s real.
The data is worth a thousand words. Instagram Reels generate an engagement rate of 1.23%, where carousel posts are at 1.02% and standard image posts are at 0.72% (source: Influencer Marketing Hub).
How Do I Find Trending Audios?
This part gets a little tricky, not all trending audios are created equally! Here are a few of our favorite sources:
Bookmark Scott Social’s “Trending Reels Audio This Week” Article (Updated Daily!)
Take a Scroll Through Your Instagram or TikTok Feed
Follow Instagram’s @creators Account
Follow Popular DJs Like @austinmillz
Browse Instagram Reels Templates
Look Through Instagram’s Trending Reels Page (when you see a Reels Audio with the upward slanted arrow, click on it – Instagram will direct you to a page with the Top 50 current Trending Audios, although we find many to be iffy)
The Power of Trends
Tapping into trending audio is like riding the social media wave. It puts your content in front of a broader audience, helps you stay relevant, and might just land you on the coveted Explore page.
That said, they also aren’t the “end all, be all”. If you can’t find a trend that fits your business and audience, no worries – skip the trend today and set your own path.
Regardless of how you use them, Reels are one of the best – and most effective – ways to harness the power of short form video is through Instagram Reels.
