To celebrate the launch, Justin Bieber’s new track “Lonely,” featuring benny blanco, will be featured in Snapchat’s Featured Sounds list before his album officially drops. Users will be able to create artistic Snaps with his new ballad, share them with friends, and save the link to download the song when it becomes available on their favorite platform. When viewing a Snap with music attached, users can swipe up to view the album art, song title, and name of the artist. A “Play This Song” link lets users listen to the full song on their streaming platform of choice, including Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud. Snapchat is also testing the ability for Snapchatters to create their own sounds and add them to Snaps.
