Creating the perfect playlist is like an art, and giving it the perfect name is just another piece of the puzzle. But sometimes, coming up with a name can actually be the hardest part. So whether you’re the kind of person who likes to start with a playlist name in mind before you add your first track or you’re someone who prefers to let the music inspire the name, this big list of ideas will get you thinking.
A good Spotify playlist name (or whatever music streaming service you use) can come from anywhere—it can be inspired by that one track you can’t get enough of, the occasion it was meant for, or the vibe it creates. It can symbolize a deeper meaning or simply sound cool.
Realize these playlist name ideas are only the beginning. Think of those things you do every single day. Commuting, going to work or school, working out, running errands, making dinner, unwinding at home. What music do you want playing in the background? Put on your “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” hat and express yourself through the categorization of song. Here are some good playlist names to get you started.
