Liking a song on Spotify is not just about saving it. There is a whole algorithm behind the like button which starts working as soon as you press it. For instance, Spotify starts to put that song on your home screen and suggests similar songs.
The like button has its journey. From the heart button to the heartless “+” sign, we have seen it all. The good thing is that Spotify clearly distinguishes between songs you add to the playlists and the ones that you add to your liked list.
Whether you have accidentally liked a few songs or no longer enjoy them, this guide shall help you unlike them. So, shall we begin?
Steps To Remove All Liked Songs on Spotify
Note: It is better to use a PC or laptop instead of mobile for such processes as you can easily select all in the desktop version, making music removal much easier. On the phone, you have to do it for one song at a time which is quite annoying, especially when you have a large list.

- Login to your account.
- Locate the “Liked Songs” playlist on the left panel.
- Simply press Ctrl + A (or Command + A) keys together on your keyboard to select all the songs in the folder.
- Right click on the selection.
- Select the “Remove from your Liked Songs” option.
Tip: In case you want to create a backup of your list, there’s a workaround to create a shareable playlist of liked songs.
