How would I add the "Required" text inside of the input field?

I have tried adding the " content: "Required"; " property but it does not seem to show. Does anyone have an idea?

I have tried to do HTML -

<input type="text" name="name" id="user_name">

CSS - 

input[type=text]::after {
content: "REQUIRED";
color: red;
}

But this does not work.
