ClipMusic

YouTube Song Finder

Find the song from a YouTube Short or video

Paste a YouTube Shorts or video link and ClipMusic identifies the music in it: the song, the artist, and where to stream it. Use it when a Short shows no song label, or the label names a different version than the one you hear.

Common YouTube problems

The Short has no song name

Shorts only show a music label when the creator picked the track from YouTube's audio library. Music added in an editing app before upload has no label. ClipMusic identifies the audio itself, so it works either way.

The label names a different version

Creators often use a remix, a slowed edit, or a cover while the label points to the original. ClipMusic matches what is actually playing, so you can tell which version it is.

My video is longer than 5 minutes

Links to videos over 5 minutes are not accepted. Screen-record or download the part with the song and upload it as a file (up to 10 minutes; for files over 5 minutes ClipMusic uses the loudest 30 seconds).

Guides

Questions about the YouTube song finder

How do I find a song from a YouTube Short?

Tap Share on the Short, then Copy link, paste the link into ClipMusic, and press Find Song. You get the song title, the artist, and streaming links. It is free and needs no app or account.

Can I find music from a regular YouTube video?

Yes, for public videos up to 5 minutes. For a longer video, check the Music section in the description first; if there is none, upload a clip of the part with the song.

Does it work with youtu.be links?

Yes. youtu.be short links, youtube.com/shorts links, and youtube.com/watch links all work.

Is this the same as YouTube's built-in song search?

No. YouTube's hum-to-search needs you to sing or play the song into your phone. ClipMusic reads the audio from the link, so you don't have to play anything out loud.
