About SongFYI

Every song means something. The internet is full of people confidently telling you what they mean. Most of them are just guessing. SongFYI is our attempt to stop the guessing.

We got sick of seeing ten different "answers" for what a song means. So we built SongFYI. It separates what's real from what fans are just guessing.

We start with the lyrics. Then we research whatever the artist, songwriters, or whoever produced the song actually said about it.

Every song comes with a badge that tells you how much to actually trust it:

• Primary source. The artist or songwriter said it themselves, on the record.
• Journalism. No quote from the artist, but the reporting is legit.
• Interpretation. No evidence, just an interpretation of the lyrics.

SongFYI is independent. We're not affiliated with any labels, publishers, or artists. We're just a small team that wants to get the meaning right.
