Find the Spotify song you heard yesterday
Find your last 50 Spotify tracks on desktop, search an older account export by date, or look up a song you played in Moosik on Windows.
In Spotify’s desktop app, open Play Queue at the bottom of the window, then select Recents. Spotify says this shows the last 50 songs you listened to. It is the quickest place to look for an unfamiliar track that came on while you were making dinner. On a phone, open Home → your avatar → Recents and choose the Music filter. Spotify’s Recents instructions.
Find an older track when you remember the time
Request Extended streaming history from your Spotify account’s data download page. Spotify describes this export as covering the lifetime of your account. It includes track and artist names, the device platform, the time each stream ended in UTC and how long it played. Request your Spotify data · Spotify’s export field guide.
For example, if you heard the song near 9 p.m. in Toronto on November 7, 2026, look around 02:00 UTC on November 8. Open the audio history JSON in a text editor, search for the date, then scan adjacent entries for an artist or album you recognize. Several matches near the same minute can be short skips. The milliseconds-played field helps narrow them down.
