Shazam: Find Music & Concerts

Identify a song, then decide what to do with it

Shazam listens to music around you and names the track and artist, making it useful when a song comes on in a café, on the radio or in a video and you want to find it later. It suits curious listeners who want a quick answer without having to search by lyrics or guess at the performer.

Keep track of discoveries

Identified songs are saved in a history, so you can return to a track after the moment has passed. Shazam can also identify music while you use other apps, and its Auto Shazam option can keep listening for songs without requiring you to tap for each one. If the phone is offline, identifications can be held until it reconnects.

From a match to more music

Once a track is identified, you can open it in supported music services. The app also offers lyrics and music videos for some songs, plus concert information for artists. These extras make Shazam more than a one-time lookup tool, though the central purpose remains simple: recognize a song and give you a way to follow up.
