Making a playlist for a crush is an age-old tradition that dates back, I believe, to the invention of the first cassette tape during the Stone Age. [I did not fact-check this.] But now, a few wise-beyond-their-years Twitter users have figured out a new, more literal way to harness the power of a playlist to communicate with a crush. This week’s best meme involves stringing together a message for your crush using song titles. Which, if you do it right, should create a coherent sentence once listed on Spotify.

Of course, the meme works better if you’re a little less genuine in your feelings. Or if your crush is on Cole Sprouse’s Jughead from Riverdale or Smash Mouth’s 1999 hit “All Star.” Which, frankly, what is not to love about either.

This method also works pretty efficiently for breakups, if you want to go that route. Though, you could also just send them Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” 17 times, a surefire way to let someone know you hate them.

A cool free website that converts an English sentence into a Spotify playlist, where the playlist song titles read out the sentence from InternetIsBeautiful
Spotify Playlist Messages are an online social trend in which a person arranges songs in a playlist on the music-streaming service Spotify such that when the titles of the songs are read in order, they form a message. After a tweet in which a girl arranged songs in a Spotify playlist to tell a boy she was no longer interested in seeing him grew popular in mid-April 2017, others began uploading joke variations.
On April 4th, 2017, Twitter user @errikkxa tweeted a Spotify playlist her older sister made for a boy she was no longer interested in seeing. When read in order, the song titled read "Do You Still Want To Kiss Me Because I Am Kinda Lovin Someone Else But We Can Still Be Friends." Her tweet gained over 14,000 retweets and 21,000 likes. The moment, including the sister's and the boy's response, was covered by Buzzfeed a week later and others.

On April 17th, Twitter user @hanwoodley made a playlist for her crush in which the arranged song titles admitted she had feelings for them. The titles spell out "I Kinda Like You and I Wanted to Tell You You Might Not Feel the Same and That Is Okay But I Thought You Should Know if u Don't Feel It I Still… Wannabe Friends I Am Corny." That tweet, shown below, gained over 131,000 retweets and nearly 400,000 likes. It was covered in a Twitter Moment, Thought Catalog, Cosmopolitan, and more.
The popularity of the tweet inspired joke variations of the format. In the responses to @hanwoodley's tweet, other people "did the same" as her by tweeting humorous screenshots of playlists supposedly sent to crushes.
After the wave of tweets making jokingly lewd playlists, others began creating more absurd variations referencing text-based memes such as Jughead's "I'm Weird" Speech or the Mesothelioma Ad Copypasta. These were covered by SelectAll on the 20th.
