The year on Spotify: Valentine’s Day

Understand the moment
Heartfelt connection in all its forms reigns supreme on Valentine’s Day. And on Spotify, besties and independent women paint a story of modern love. Case in point: in February, women make playlists to express “best friends forever” at a heightened pace.
And let’s be real—it’s not always all about love. Women are striking a new chord and are championing independence, as streams of empowering playlists surge.
