Selfie Sing is expected to launch with iOS 27.3, letting Apple Music users record karaoke videos with scrolling lyrics. This article explains how to use the feature, what its dedicated playlist includes and which voice effects are available.
How does Apple Music Selfie Sing work?
Selfie Sing lets you record a video of yourself singing along to a song in Apple Music, with the lyrics scrolling on screen in real time. It builds on Apple Music Sing, the karaoke feature Apple introduced in 2022.
Selfie Sing records karaoke videos with synchronized, scrolling lyrics.
The feature is expected to launch with iOS 27.3, which is available in beta. It is an upgraded take on Apple Music Sing, but unlike access to the full service catalog, Selfie Sing is limited to a dedicated playlist.
Which songs are included in the Selfie Sing playlist?
The Selfie Sing playlist includes selected well-known tracks rather than Apple Music’s entire catalog. The songs named so far include:
The playlist contains five named songs: “Since U Been Gone,” “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Like a Virgin,” “…Baby One More Time” and “9 to 5.”
- “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson
- “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction
- “Like a Virgin” by Madonna
- “…Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears
- “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton
Apple describes the collection as songs people may know by heart and sing together. The playlist provides the selection for Selfie Sing, so the feature is not available across the full Apple Music catalog.
How do you record and customize a Selfie Sing video?
Choose a song, enable the camera and start recording to make a Selfie Sing video. Before saving or sharing the recording, you can adjust your voice with audio effects or change its volume.
Selfie Sing offers four named voice effects: Megaphone, Echo, Concert Hall and Studio.
- Megaphone
- Echo
- Concert Hall
- Studio
The recording process combines a selected playlist track, scrolling lyrics and a camera video. After recording, users can adjust the vocal sound and then save or share the video with friends.
When is Selfie Sing expected to arrive?
Selfie Sing is expected to roll out with iOS 27.3. The operating system is in beta, and the article reports that its wider release is expected sometime in December.

The beta also includes additional Siri AI features and a redesigned Health app. Those are separate iOS updates, while Selfie Sing is the Apple Music feature for recording karaoke videos.
Can Selfie Sing use every song in Apple Music?
No. Selfie Sing is tied to its own playlist and does not support the entire Apple Music catalog.
Can you add effects to a Selfie Sing recording?
Yes. You can adjust vocal volume or choose Megaphone, Echo, Concert Hall or Studio before saving or sharing the video.
Does Selfie Sing show lyrics while you sing?
