He added that, "It triggers engagement. All of this forms a backdrop for why music becomes important for users and creators and thus becomes important for Meta. Songs are not just getting discovered, but they are inspiring creations. It is not about passive leaned back consumption but active consumption and leaned forward creation that makes the reels unique".

Swiggy enables eccentric storytelling through songs remixed with snackable content, and also uses it for transitions, and active usage of popular tracks from the library. These tracks and their usage varies for each piece
