What song is in this Pinterest video?
Identify the music while the Pin plays in your browser.
How to identify a song on Pinterest
To find the song in a Pinterest video Pin, open the Pin on pinterest.com in Chrome or Edge with the AHA Music extension installed and click the extension icon while the video plays; it listens to the tab and names the track. Pinterest links are not fetched by the URL scanner, so the extension is the way to identify music there.
- Open the video Pin on pinterest.com in Chrome or Edge.
- Install the AHA Music extension if you have not yet.
- Click the AHA Music icon while the video plays.
- Open the result for the song page and streaming links.
Why Pinterest is different
Pinterest videos are mostly re-uploads: outfit edits, recipes, aesthetic montages and travel clips first posted on TikTok or Instagram, with the original sound kept. The song is usually a released track, so recognition works; the credit, if any, is on the original platform, not the Pin.
Pinterest asks for sign-in after a few page views and serves video through its own player, which the URL scanner does not fetch. The extension listens to the player in your tab, signed in or not.
Idea Pins can hold several pages with different sounds. Click the extension on the page that plays the music you want.
