Spotify’s latest SongDNA functionality illustrates the connections between your beloved tracks.

On Tuesday, Spotify unveiled the global launch of a novel feature, SongDNA, enabling listeners to delve deeper into their preferred music.

Now accessible to Premium users on both iOS and Android, this feature offers an engaging experience that allows users to explore various elements of a song beyond the artist, songwriter, or performer. With SongDNA, listeners can investigate other relationships, such as who might have covered that track, as well as additional details like samples, interpolations, or what other works the song’s contributors have participated in.

This concept serves as an enhancement to the current “About the Song” function, enabling Spotify patrons to gain insights into the writers, producers, and collaborators behind their beloved music. This might help users understand how artists are intertwined and inspired by each other’s creations. For individuals within the music industry, the feature could facilitate the discovery of new collaborators, producers, engineers, and others they might wish to partner with.

It also grants professionals behind music production greater visibility and respect than they’ve previously experienced in the era of streaming.

TechCrunch reported in October that Spotify was crafting the SongDNA feature to assist users in discovering music via a song’s credits, after mentions of the feature were uncovered in the app’s code by reverse engineer Jane Manchun Wong. The following month, the company officially announced plans to roll out SongDNA in early 2026.

Partially, SongDNA is built on data from the community-driven music database WhoSampled, which Spotify acquired the previous year. This feature also competes with TIDAL’s interactive credits, which similarly highlight the contributors behind the tracks you listen to.

“By aggregating collaborators, samples, and covers in one location, we’re enabling fans to easily discover new music and understand how songs interconnect and evolve—while providing songwriters, producers, and rights holders significant acknowledgment for their contributions in the creation process,” stated Jacqueline Ankner, Spotify’s Head of Songwriter & Publisher Partnerships, in a press release.

The feature is currently being rolled out in beta to Premium users worldwide on iOS and Android devices, with plans for the completion of the rollout anticipated by April.
