Top VSCO Filter Tracks for Instagram Reels and Stories

There’s a certain mood that hits when you’re scrolling through Stories and someone posts a clip with the perfect filter and track combo. It’s not exactly nostalgia, not quite sadness, but something hazy in between. The right song can make a random shot of coffee foam or a blurry beach sunset feel like it came from an indie film. These tracks catch that space where everything looks softer, where even a messy bedroom selfie turns into a vibe. Some of them are literal reflections of what you’re seeing, while others have nothing to do with the visuals at all but still nail the feeling.

The songs here lean in all directions. Pop, rock, country, and R&B songs mix together in the same playlist, like mismatched thrift store finds that somehow look good when stacked. It’s quiet verses fading into sudden hooks, lyrics that might not even matter once the filter smooths over the rough edges. Sometimes a track feels too upbeat, almost jarring, and that clash is what makes it work. Other times it’s stripped down and moody, the kind of song that floats under the surface of a reel and lingers longer than the clip itself.

Filters create their own atmosphere, but the soundtrack can twist it into something else entirely. These picks turn fleeting moments into tiny stories worth replaying. Here are the best VSCO filter songs for Instagram reels and stories.
