50 Best Mermaidcore Songs for IG Reels & Stories
Best Mermaidcore Songs for Social Media Reels and Stories
There’s a certain kind of haze that clings to mermaidcore. It feels dreamy at first, like water slipping through your fingers, but there’s something heavier under it too. The kind of track that makes you picture tide pools glowing under neon skies, or that late-night blue when you’re stuck in your head but still scrolling. These songs live in that space. Some are actual ocean-soaked ballads, others are nowhere near it, yet the sound still pulls you under and makes sense of the aesthetic.
The thing with mermaidcore is it never feels fully grounded. It leans into shimmer, echo, reverb, but there’s usually grit hiding in the mix. You can hear it in synth-pop with voices layered until they blur, or in R&B tracks that stretch like waves against the shore. Even country and rock sneak in when the lyrics bend toward longing or escape. The result is a jumble that works better than it should. The mood doesn’t snap into place cleanly, it drifts like foam after a storm.
You’ll catch these songs turning up in Instagram reels when someone films a beach bonfire or edits clips from a night drive by the water. They stick because they feel slippery, both glamorous and uneasy, like the whole vibe could vanish if you press too hard. Not every pick is literally tied to seashells and saltwater, but they hold that energy in their bones. Here are the best pop, rock, country, and R&B songs that capture mermaidcore for IG reels and stories.
