Seeing songs you didn't add in your account

[Katerina]

Answer:

There's a few different reasons why you could be seeing this happening in your Spotify account. We've explained them below, along with some troubleshooting steps that you can try.

If you notice songs unexpectedly added in your Liked Songs:

It's possible that you've linked your Spotify account to a third-party app that could be adding new songs from your favorite artists when they become available. In this case, it would be a good idea to make sure to revoke access to any third-party apps that you don't recognize or no longer need with the steps mentioned here. 

Tip: when integrating Spotify with a third-party app, always double-check the permissions it allows before linking.

If you're on free and notice songs added to playlists that you've created:

Spotify free can help you find new music we think you'll love. That means we’ll continue to suggest tracks and artists for your playlists as you create and edit them. The more you listen, the better the suggestions will become.

Further, if you have less than 15 songs in your Liked Songs, we'll add more. You will see a message telling you that the extra songs were added by us, but they can be replaced by adding more songs. 

If you're on Premium:

And you've enabled the Smart Shuffle function, it would recommend and add songs to your playlists (including Liked Songs) that match the vibe and keep your listening sessions fresh. These tracks have the Smart Shuffle symbol next to the artist name. Check out this help article for more details about Smart Shuffle and how to enable/disable it.

Lastly, if you're still having troubles, we'd recommend making sure to follow the steps provided in this support site article, including reaching out to our support teams so that they can look into this for you.
