By far the most popular and iconic social media platform in the world, Facebook — now Meta — has a long and storied history as a leader in social media content consumption.
And while it might not be thought of anymore as a top content-sharing platform for brands and creators, make no mistake, it’s still very much a major player in the social content space thanks to its huge audience and global footprint.
Let’s take a look at how Facebook, aka Meta, handles video content these days, and — more specifically — what it allows for and recommends when it comes to music in your uploaded videos. Plus, if you want to start creating today, we have some of the best royalty free music for Facebook recommendations to help you get started.
To start, let’s share some of our favorite royalty free music selections. Keep in mind that at Soundstripe we have over 9,000 music tracks, all of which include different versions and add-ons like stems to allow for even further customization for each selection.
Let’s look at a list of ten of our top royalty free songs for your Facebook videos.
There are of course certain tracks that we love to listen to ourselves, so these selections are hand-picked from our already curated music library specifically to help give your Facebook video that extra boost that all content creators are chasing.
Let’s first quickly go over how music in Facebook videos works. From Facebook’s guidelines, they certainly want to encourage musical expression for content creators, yet they also want to make sure all videos uphold their agreements with music rights holders.
There are also several different types of video formats that you can broadcast and share on Facebook these days, including Stories, Reels, Live broadcasts, and regularly uploaded videos.
If Facebook detects that any music used in your videos, even live video broadcasts, doesn’t adhere to their music licensing agreements, they will notify you and potentially mute or block your videos. You can learn more about how Facebook protects copyrights here.
All that being said, the best way to ensure that your videos will be fully protected for sharing on Facebook, or any other social media platforms, is to use royalty free music secured from resources such as Soundstripe.
For those curious, royalty free music is any music that has been purchased either as a single song or as part of a subscription plan. These royalty free music licensing sites cover all of the licensing agreements with the artists themselves, both compensating them for their work, as well as providing you with protection to use the music in your videos anywhere online.

Now, let’s get to some more tunes. Here are some of our top curated playlists specifically for Facebook content creators. Or, if we’re being honest, these are great playlists for any type of content creator, so you don’t have to limit yourself to using these tracks just for Facebook.
These playlists range from modern and upbeat tracks to more serious and moody songs. You can explore more royalty free music playlists too if you’re looking for a specific genre or vibe for your YouTube videos. But those are some of our top picks.
If you’d like to navigate away from any copyright issues that could potentially see your videos being muted or blocked by Facebook (or worse yet, having your account banned) then you’d be best served to rely on royalty free music as your go-to soundtrack option for your videos.
With Soundstripe in particular you’ll be able to sleep safely knowing that your videos will be fully covered and protected. Also, feel good knowing that the talented musicians who wrote and recorded the music will have been adequately compensated for their awesome work.
This is because at Soundstripe we own every single song in our library, so you can rest assured that you won’t be able to find our music anywhere else. You can either pay for a single song license and use that song in as many projects as you’d like. Or you can sign up for one of our subscription plans, which gives you unlimited access to our entire library and is an awesome resource to have at your fingertips.
Hopefully, this article has directed you to find the best royalty free music for Facebook, the rest of your social content-creating journey is now up to you!
