How fast can you name that song? One Second Song plays you a short clip from a real song. If you know it, type a few letters and tap the match. If you need more, tap Hear More and the clip gets longer. Wrong guesses are free, so guess as often as you want! The less of the song you hear, the better your score. Each song also has three hints. They give real trivia about the song without naming the title or the artist. PLAY ALONE OR PASS THE PHONE Practice on your own, or take turns with friends. The scorecard at the end shows how much of each song each player needed. FRESH PACKS EVERY WEEK Choose today's hits, decades from the 60s to the 2010s, rock, country, hip-hop, and more! We refresh the packs every week from Apple Music's editorial playlists. Each pack has three difficulty tiers, from familiar hits to deep cuts.

I just pushed an update that now has a "Your Playlist" option at the bottom of the pack selection screen! Just paste a link to your Spotify or Apple Music public playlist and it will build a custom game, including hints. Thanks for the idea! If you have others, reach out to us hello@onesecondsong.com! ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2026-08-20* So much fun to play!! Great group activity as well. ### 3/5 — Auswahl *2026-08-20* An sich ist die App super gemacht aber die Lieder in den Rubriken wiederholen sich viel zu oft, in der Kategorie 2010er kommen sehr häufig die selben Lieder und ich denke in der Sparte würde es noch deutlich mehr Auswahl geben **Developer response:** Danke für das Feedback! Zwei Dinge haben wir geändert: Die 2010er ziehen auf „Easy“ jetzt aus einem deutlich größeren Pool und die Regel, die bekannte Lieder zu früh wieder hervorgeholt hat, ist weg – ein Lied kommt jetzt mindestens 10 Spiele lang nicht noch einmal. Beides ist bereits live, ohne Update. Falls sonst noch etwas auffällt, schreib uns gern an hello@onesecondsong.com. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-30* So much fun!

Anything without enough playable songs stays out of the results. • More albums and soundtracks can start a game. • Open challenges: a finished challenge shows who won, The House always has one open, and leaving a match mid-run counts as a forfeit. • Leave the Daily, an encore, or a match and it pauses where you were. No restarting for a better time. • New celebrations: a sunburst when you solve the Daily, and a Triple Strike for a half-second encore. • The hint button lights up once and then rests. How to play now lives in your profile. ## More apps by Mark Gregor - [Fruit Judge](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fruit-judge/id6759159040) - [Mystery Walk](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/mystery-walk/id6759728349) - [Walk 'n Poop](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/walk-n-poop/id6775556594) - [10 Second App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/10-second-app/id6778797206) All apps by Mark Gregor: https://appshunter.io/developer/1877096334 ## Related topics [one second song](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/one-second-song) · [threeinitials](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/threeinitials) · [song guessing game](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/song-guessing-game) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
