Music fans know the feeling: A song stops you in your tracks, and you immediately want to know more. What inspired it, and what’s the meaning behind it? We believe that understanding the craft and context behind a song can deepen your connection to the music you love.
That’s why Spotify is introducing About the Song, a new feature currently in beta that brings stories and context directly into your listening experience. Available in the Now Playing View, About the Song features short, swipeable story cards that explore the meaning behind the music you’re hearing. These stories are summarized from third-party sources to surface interesting details and behind-the-scenes moments.
About the Song (beta) is rolling out on mobile (iOS and Android) in English for Premium users in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.
Ready to explore the stories behind the music? Here’s how to find them.
- While listening in the Spotify mobile app, open the Now Playing View.
- Scroll down to find the About the Song card on supported tracks.
- Swipe through to explore the stories behind the track. We’re always looking for ways to improve, and both artists and listeners can share feedback directly via the card to help shape the experience.
About the Song is another step in our mission to bring you closer to the artists you love. Keep an eye out for the feature, and get ready to connect with music on a new level.
