Instagram is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to add a song to their profile, and people have been drawing comparisons to MySpace, which had a similar feature.

Mobile developer and leaker Alessandro Paluzzi posted some screenshots on Twitter earlier this week which indicate that Instagram is experimenting with a feature that will allow users to have a song pinned on their profile just below the bio. According to Paluzzi's tweets, the song will be available to play in the profile.
