Heardle can be quite an entertaining and addictive game for staunch pop music lovers. As a beginner, one might find it a little tricky to guess the songs, but once you get the hang of it, Heardle can be quite fun to play. The goal is to guess the title of a popular song by listening to the starting bits of its intro.

A total of six chances are available, but it’s important to note that the player needs to make the right guess using as few attempts as possible, since the length of the song increases with every failed attempt.

Heardle is quite similar, conceptually, to Wordle. It was recently bought by Spotify, post which the game has been made available in various countries like New Zealand, Australia, the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland. Without further ado, read on to learn some fascinating details and clues regarding the song featured in today’s Heardle challenge.
