Spotify has launched SongDNA in beta for Premium users globally — a feature that turns any song into an explorable map of everyone who helped create it.

What it is

Tap the SongDNA card in the Now Playing view and you'll see the writers, producers, and collaborators behind the track, plus the samples and interpolations woven into it and the covers it has inspired. From there, every name is a link: tap a producer to see their other credits, follow those to different artists, and keep exploring as far as the connections go.

The data comes from a mix of information submitted by artists and their teams, supplemented by community-sourced contributions managed through Spotify for Artists.

Why it matters

Liner notes have always been the hidden depth behind recorded music — most listeners never read them. SongDNA makes those credits interactive and discoverable, embedding them at the moment of listening rather than burying them in a settings menu or a wiki.

For the industry side, the feature gives songwriters, producers, and session musicians a new channel of visibility. When a sample chain connects a 2026 track back to a 1970s soul recording, every link in that chain becomes clickable — and credit flows backward in a way streaming has historically obscured.

Rollout

SongDNA is now rolling out in beta on iOS and Android for Spotify Premium users. Full availability to all Premium subscribers is planned throughout April. Spotify says it complements its earlier About the Song feature, which launched in February, offering narrative context where SongDNA offers connective exploration.
