Unable to find a song that played in an ad

Solved!

Unable to find a song that played in an ad

While I was listening to spotify the other day, an ad came on for "Where There's a Chill There's a Way" and near the end of the ad a song that I heard months ago and couldn't find since played, I didn't notice until it was too late to ID the song and the ad hasn't played since.

 

Does anyone by chance have a link to the ad for it, or the songs that played in the ad?

 

It has a sort of electronic/chill vibe to it if this helps identify the song at all.

Ah, ok. Just thought it would be good to link to that post. Lots of people ask about the music in ads all the time and staff have posted several times that some songs are just made specifically for the ad. And if the song in the ad is a real song, there's really no way to track it down.

 

My suggestion for future ads would be to save it as soon as possible so you don't loose it. And maybe Shazam it to see if that app recognizes it. 

 

Good luck on finding that song!

Hello @DepartLoL

 

It was most likely a song made specifically for the ad and not an actual song. 

 

Check out this thread from an employee that explains:

Hey, I'm not sure this would be the case as I heard the full song on one of the chill playlists a long time ago, it was removed before I thought to add it to my own playlist or remember the name so I was unable to find it again.

 

The ad still hasn't played again so I'm unable to find it 😕
