How to Find a Song from a Video

Three easy steps — works for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X

1. Paste the Video URL

Copy any video link — YouTube video, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reel, TikTok, or X post — and paste it into the song finder above.

2. Watch a Short Ad

Watch a short rewarded ad: 1 for most clips, up to 5 for long videos. This keeps the video song finder free for everyone.

3. Get the Song Name

We identify every song in the video with precise timestamps. Click any timestamp to jump directly to that moment and confirm the match.

YouTube Song Finder FAQ

Common questions about finding songs in YouTube videos

How do I find a song from a YouTube video?

Paste the YouTube video URL (including YouTube Shorts links) into the input box above, watch a short ad (1 for most videos, at most 5 for long ones), then click "Identify Music". AHA Music will list every song with precise timestamps.

Does this work with YouTube Shorts?

Yes. YouTube Shorts URLs are fully supported. Since Shorts are under 60 seconds, you only need to watch one short ad before identifying the music.

Why do I need to watch ads?

YouTube music identification uses ACRCloud's audio recognition API, which costs money per request. Watching short rewarded ads covers that cost and keeps the tool completely free for you.

Can I jump to the exact moment a song plays?

Yes. Each identified song includes a clickable timestamp. Click it to seek the YouTube player directly to that moment in the video.

What if a YouTube video has multiple songs?

AHA Music identifies all songs throughout the video and lists them in order with individual timestamps. Longer videos will show all songs detected in each segment.

Is there a limit on how many YouTube videos I can identify?

Guests can run 2 video scans a day (10 min) and signed-in users 3 a day (20 min); the limit resets every 24 hours. Longer videos need a few more ads, never more than 5 per scan.
