MUSICAL TIME CAPSULE

Give Yourself a Musical Surprise in January 2024 With Spotify’s Playlist in a Bottle

January 4, 2023

Is 2023 setting up to be your best year yet, or are you already diving under the covers? Either way, we know you’ve got a few songs that encapsulate your mood. So to celebrate the new year, we’re launching a timely user experience to help you capture the moment by the time January 2024 rolls around.

Playlist in a Bottle is our latest interactive, in-app experience that captures who you are musically right now and then lets you revisit your 2023 musical self one year later.

Here’s how to make your Playlist in a Bottle:

  1. Ensure your Spotify mobile app is up to date with the latest version.
  2. Click spotify.com/playlistinabottle from your mobile device.
  3. Select your time capsule of choice—you can pick from a bottle, jean pocket, gumball machine, lunch box, or teddy bear.
  4. Answer a series of song-inspired prompts. For example:
    • “A song you’re going to kiss someone to this year”
    • “A song that reminds you of your favorite person”
    • “A song you need to hear live in 2023”
  5. Digitally seal your musical time capsule and send it off!
  6. Share a personalized card to your social channels with the tag #PlaylistInABottle.
  7. Come January 2024, if you made a Playlist in a Bottle, you’ll receive your personalized time capsule reminding you what you were listening to one year prior.
