Can Siri identify a song that's playing?
Quick answer
Say "Hey Siri, what song is this?" while music plays nearby. Siri listens and names the track and artist, then lets you open it in your music app. Found songs are saved in your Shazam history.

If Siri doesn't get it
If Siri can't identify it, reduce background noise, move closer to the source, and try again — very new, live, or heavily remixed tracks are hardest to match.
