Here’s how you can identify a song using Google Assistant
Step 1: Tap the home icon or say ‘Hey Google’ to trigger Google Voice Assistant.
Step 2: Ask ‘Which song is this?’
Step 3: Play the song on another device.
Step 4: Google will search for the song using the melody and bring up matching results.
Bonus Tip: Use a third-party app
If Google Assistant fails to identify the song, there are plenty of other third-party apps that will do the job for you. You may already know of Shazam, which was the first app that got popular for its accurate song identification. Other apps like Soundhound and MusixMatch also carry out the same task with expertise. All you need to do is download the app and select the song identification feature. Once the app is using your phone’s mic to listen to the surroundings, bring it closer to the source of the sound so it can get a good sample. Within seconds, the app will show you all matching results.
