Find a Song From a YouTube Video or Short
Use this YouTube song finder to look up the music in a public video or Short: paste its link below. It works as a YouTube music finder for any public video. When the audio matches a known track you get the title, artist and listening links. Only a successful match uses a credit.
Not found? You’re not charged.

How to find the song
Copy the video link
On YouTube open the video or Short, tap Share, then Copy link. In a browser you can copy the address bar instead.
Paste it above
Paste a youtube.com watch or Shorts link, or a youtu.be share link. Extra parts such as a start time are ignored.
Check the match
If the audio matches a known track you see the title and artist with links to listen. If not, nothing is charged.
Which YouTube links work
One YouTube music finder for both regular videos and Shorts.
- Regular videos: youtube.com/watch?v=… and the mobile m.youtube.com version
- Shorts: youtube.com/shorts/…
- Share links: youtu.be/…
- Public videos that anyone can open without signing in
When a YouTube lookup does not find a song
The YouTube song finder can come back empty for one of these reasons. You are not charged when there is no match.
- The song is not listed in the video’s title or description, and YouTube shows no “Music in this video” section, so there is nothing to confirm it against.
- The video is private, removed, age-restricted or blocked in some regions, so its audio is not reachable.
- Speech, game sound or noise covers the music for most of the video.
- The track is a remix, a cover, a live take or sped-up audio that is not in the recognition catalog.
- The link points to a channel, a playlist or a search page rather than one video.
YouTube song finder FAQ
A YouTube song finder identifies the music in a YouTube video from its link. Paste the link of a public video or Short into this YouTube song finder and it shows the song title, artist and listening links when it finds a match.
Use the YouTube song finder at the top of this page: copy the video’s link, paste it into the box and tap Find Song. If the audio matches a known track, you get its title, artist and links to listen. Check YouTube’s own “Music in this video” section and the description first, since creators often list the song there.
Yes, paste a youtube.com/shorts link the same way as a regular video link. Shorts and regular videos use one tool.
No. The lookup works from the video link and cannot start at a moment you choose. It listens to a few short passages of the audio, so a song that plays for only a few seconds may come back as no match. A shorter clip or Short with the same music can work better.
Private, removed, age-restricted and region-blocked videos can’t be read from a link. Open the video in a private browser window: if it asks you to sign in or says it is unavailable, the lookup can’t reach it either.
Yes. This YouTube music finder looks up the music in a public video or Short from its link, then shows the song title, artist and listening links when it finds a match. Private and removed videos cannot be read.
Paste the link of the YouTube video or Short into the box at the top and tap Find Song. If the audio matches a known track, you get the song title, artist and listening links. Check the description for a “Music in this video” section first.
No. A credit is used only when a song is found. No match, an unavailable video or an error on our side is free, and you can edit the link and try again.
The match is the closest known recording. A sped-up, slowed or remixed edit can match its original track, and a cover can be named instead of the original. Compare the result with the video before you rely on it.
