Spotify Pitch

If you want to submit a track for Spotify editorial playlist consideration, you need to pitch it directly through Spotify for Artists.

Please note that pitching is only possible before the release goes live. Once the release day has started, the pitch option is no longer available. For a chance of successfull pitching, the latest date ist at least 7 days before release, but we recommend to do it earlier. Spotify also recommends submitting the pitch at least 7 days before release.

Before you start

Before pitching, make sure that:

you have access to Spotify for Artists
your release has already been delivered and is visible in the Upcoming section
your artist profile is claimed and set up properly

You can find more information here: Spotify for Artists

How to pitch a track

Log in to Spotify for Artists

https://artists.spotify.com/
Go to Music and open the Upcoming tab
Select the release you want to pitch
Click Pitch a song and choose one unreleased track from the release
Enter the requested details, such as location, genre, mood and song information
Add a short and relevant description of the track
Submit your pitch

What to write in your pitch

When writing your pitch, focus on the story and context behind the track. Spotify wants to understand what makes the song interesting and how it fits into their playlists.

Helpful details can include:

where and with whom the track was created
the idea, inspiration or concept behind the song
special instruments, sounds or production elements
previous Spotify support or strong momentum, if relevant

Keep it concise and specific. The goal is not to write as much as possible, but to provide useful and memorable information.

Important to know

Pitching is not available for Various Artists releases
the pitch must be submitted directly through Spotify for Artists, not through dig dis!
if the Pitch a Song button is missing, the release may already be live, not yet visible in Upcoming, or not eligible for pitching

After submitting

Once your pitch is submitted, don’t rely on it alone. It still makes sense to support the release with your own promotion and build momentum around the artist profile.
