YouTube Music has started rolling out its 2025 Recap, giving listeners a personalised look at their year in music. The feature is aimed at anyone who wants a clear breakdown of their listening habits, and it arrives ahead of Spotify Wrapped 2025. This year’s YouTube Music Recap now uses Gemini to answer your questions about your own music trends, offering both simple summaries and playful explanations.
You can find your 2025 Recap in the YouTube Music app under your profile section.
Step 1: Open YouTube Music on your mobile phone.
Step 2: Tap your user/profile icon
Step 3: Look for the Your Recap option in the menu.
Step 4: Under 2025 Recap, you’ll see a lime-green-coloured Get Your Recap button. Tap it to get yours.
If it has not appeared yet, it should show up in the next few days as the rollout continues.

This year’s Recap adds more detailed insights and new ways to explore your patterns. Once available, YouTube Music will highlight your top tracks, artists, genres and podcasts. It also builds a personalised playlist of your most-played songs, which you can save to your library.
The Google Photos link-up is the standout addition. It turns your listening data and personal memories into ready-to-share cards, which could help Recap gain more visibility on social feeds.
Google has released the 2025 Recap ahead of Spotify Wrapped, which usually lands in early December. Spotify’s 2024 edition included top artists, songs, minutes listened, an expanded genre breakdown and personality-style badges. YouTube Music reaching users first this year may help it grab attention before the busiest period for year-end music summaries.
Year-end recaps have become a key engagement tool for streaming platforms. They prompt users to revisit old favourites, reshare playlists and spend more time in the app. For Google, pushing Recap earlier and tying it to Gemini shows the company’s wider strategy of putting AI at the centre of user-facing features across its ecosystem. The new interactive summaries and Google Photos tie-ins hint at how future recaps could become more visual and more personalised.
Check your profile to see if your Recap is live. If it is not visible yet, it should appear soon as the wider rollout continues.
