Spotify rolls out Prompted Playlist in beta to premium subscrbers in the US and Canada

Spotify is launching Prompted Playlist, a feature that enables users to create playlists simply by describing what they want to hear. Users can write prompts in their own words, and Spotify generates a playlist using both their historical listening habits and current music trends. This approach ensures that each playlist reflects not only recent interests but also long-term listening history.

After initial testing with premium listeners in New Zealand in December 2025, Spotify is now expanding access to more premium subscribers in the United States and Canada. This rollout offers these users the chance to experiment with the new functionality while it remains in beta.

Beyond basic prompts, users have the option to change their descriptions, restart with new ideas, or automatically refresh the playlist daily or weekly. For added transparency, each song is accompanied by a short explanation of why it was selected. These explanations help users understand the connections between their input and the resulting mix.

Following this, Spotify offers inspiration on the home screen through example prompts created by music editors and culture specialists. These help premium subscribers discover new ways to personalize their mixes through playful and diverse descriptions.
