Spotify ‘secret’ lets users find any song stuck in their head: ‘Mind blown!’

Spotify boasts an earworm-harnessing hack that allows users to identify the tunes running through their heads. The “lyrics search” was actually launched in 2021 — but the “secret” function is just now coming to the attention of many flustered users.To use the function, which is available on both iOS and Android phones, Spotifyers simply pull up the “search” function, which is used to locate everything, including songs, albums, playlists and even radio stations and upcoming concerts.

They then type in at least three words from the forgotten ditty, whereupon “songs with those lyrics show Lyrics match in the results,” per the Spotify guide.For instance, if the user types in “booty booty booty,” the song “Ms.

New Booty” by Bubba Sparxxx will appear as the first search. Spotify listeners can narrow results by typing quotation marks around said search term, such as “Let’s Dance.”Listeners can even employ the process of elimination by typing “AND” and “NOT.” For example, inputting “Hall AND Oates” will yield results with both keywords.

Meanwhile, Spotify users can type in “Rolling Stones NOT Devil” to pull up all tracks without said term. Basically, the hack saves music fans themselves having to browse through pages and pages of Google Searches as if trying to crack a digital Da Vinci code.Not narrow enough?
