The foolproof trick to find that song on the Internet that's stuck in your head but you can't remember the name of.

"I have it on the tip of my tongue." This is the most common phrase Colombians say when they can't remember something, like, for example, the name of a song . However, this won't be a problem anymore thanks to technology.

More and more new mobile applications are appearing that serve to identify songs.

One of the most popular apps for identifying music is Shazam. With this app, you simply play the song near your phone, press a button, and within seconds it displays the title, artist, and, in many cases, the album.

This app's accuracy is over 90% for contemporary hits.

Shazam stores a search history and integrates with services like Spotify and Apple Music.

SoundHound is another app for recognizing music in seconds. Its added value is that it allows you to not only record a portion of a song, but also sing, whistle, or hum the melody. This feature is ideal when you don't know the original audio and only remember the melody.

A third music recognition app is Musixmatch, which has one of the most comprehensive lyrics databases, with lyrics synchronized while listening and translations into different languages.

Google and Apple's Artificial Intelligence also works for music search. Based on a few functions, simply ask "What song is playing?" and, after a few seconds, the system offers an answer.

Smart assistants can also detect background music and recognize hummed or whistled fragments.
