How To Make Your Playlist PlayLIT!

Updated: 7 days ago



Whether you use wired or bluetooth, Beats or Airpods - you listen to music! We all listen to music - when we're doing independent work in class or even when we're getting ready to go out with friends after school, there is no better feeling than opening Spotify (or Apple Music) and blasting the perfect playlist. Nothing is better than matching a song with a moment or event. So to start this school year off right, you need the perfect playlist!

Here are five easy steps to help curate the best back-to-school playlist:


1. The Vibe.

First step is to decide the theme/feeling you want the playlist to be. Whether you want to feel the Fall vibe, something beachy to bring you back to Summer time, or you want something to hype you up while you get ready to go watch our football team win the next game - there's tons of options. This also helps you write an awesome and specific playlist title. And if the idea of commitment makes you a little uneasy, just make multiple playlists!


2. A Solid Foundation.

First impressions matter! Choose a first song that emulates the playlist theme. This sets the tone of the playlist and helps you find similar songs and artists. This also helps Spotify or Apple Music recommend more great songs that match your playlist.


3. In with the new...and old.

Listen to artists and songs you already like to add to your growing playlist. Something you have saved could be the same vibe as your new playlist, and now you don't need to learn the lyrics!


4. Image is everything.

Now onto the playlist cover! The perfect cover should reflect how the playlist makes you feel. Do you like orange autumn leaves or steaming coffee for your fall playlist? A picture of your sport for your practice or game mix? Or even something more abstract like an art piece, pattern, or a color could fit your vibe?


5. Growth.

Greatness isn't created all at once. Continue adding to and refining your perfect back-to-school mix! Even add your friends so everyone can collaborate and listen!

This back-to-school season, you don't want to spend fleeting minutes searching for the perfect song or artist. You're busy! Save your time by following these simple steps to make your ultimate playlist.
