Coming soon to iOS & Android

You were 17. It was 1989. Here's what was playing on every radio.

EchoYears turns your birth year into a personal soundtrack — and takes you back to the world it played in. Not a music app. A time machine.

Free to start · No credit card needed

Try 1965, 1975, 1985, 1989, 1995 or 2000 to see a sample soundtrack.

    How EchoYears works

    Three steps between you and your soundtrack.

    1

    Tell us your birth year

    That's it — no signup wall, no long quiz. Just the year you were born.

    2

    We build your soundtrack

    We map the songs that mattered at the ages that mattered — 10, 16, 18, 21, and beyond.

    3

    Step back into the year

    Every song comes with the world around it — what was in the news, what things cost, what everyone was watching.

    What you get

    More than a playlist — a personal timeline set to music.

    Your milestone playlist

    Songs tied to the ages that shaped you, not just a generic decade mix.

    The world, year by year

    Headlines, prices, movies and culture — the context behind every track.

    Shareable soundtrack

    Send your EchoYears story to family and friends, or gift someone theirs.

    Every era, covered

    From the 1950s to today, and we're always adding more years.
