Step 4 (optional): By default, the sticker will ask viewers “What song should I listen to?” If you want to change the text to something else, type your desired text.

The desired text is shown being typed in on the sticker.

Step 5: When you’re done creating the sticker, tap “Done” in the top-right corner of the screen.

The "done" button on Instagram is highlighted.

From there, you can rotate, resize and drag the sticker around the screen to best fit your post.
