Whether seeking guidance on love, career, or the future, the feature offers a unique and immersive way to tap into the wisdom of the universe. The whimsically-inspired feature invites its users to unravel life’s enigmas through music, probing questions that query users who are seeking guidance on love, career, or the future. In many ways, the feature offers a unique and immersive way to tap into the wisdom of the universe –– but how exactly is this cosmic algorithm supposed to work?

- Navigate to spotify.com/songpsychic on your mobile device.
- Choose a Category: Select from a cosmic array of nine topics such as School, Style, Lunch, Love, Career, Myself, My Future, Friends & Family, and Life’s Greatest Mysteries. Get ready for a musical rendezvous with destiny.
- Pose Your Question: Pick from a menu of pre-loaded questions like “Should I go on this date?” or “What should I have for lunch?” Watch as Song Psychic tunes into the cosmic frequencies.
- Await the Future: As your question lingers, a contemplative screen sets the stage while Song Psychic curates the perfect song to unravel the mysteries of your inquiry.
- Listen and Share: Once the cosmic revelation arrives, you can listen to the selected song on Spotify, pose another question, and share your cosmic insights on social media.
The cosmically-inspired experience primarily enables its users to ask questions and receive “answers” through the song titles, but it unfortunately cannot ask any exact question. Though the platform features pre-populated questions that were predicted to be commonly asked, it also features at random –– having been generated for mere entertainment purposes to serve as a fun experience for Spotify’s users. To those looking for more celestial insights on the streaming platform, Spotify has mentioned that over 250,000 psychic-themed playlists have emerged over the past few years, featuring several chart-toppers like Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks, Kali Uchis, Lana Del Rey, Florence + The Machine, and Beach House among other groups in these playlists.

This new campaign follows Spotify’s in-app time capsules from their “Playlist in a Bottle” feature, alongside the breakthrough feature of “Spotify Wrapped” – which gives the platform’s users a special rewind at all their listening traits, habits, and trends over the past year. Both features have proved to become viral successes worldwide, especially with their ability to allow viewers to build a musical time capsule of their own for next year, as well as Wrapped’s recent features of making “sandwich” of your most-listened-to genres, as well as a special tarot card describing the type of listener you are.
