Spotify taps into everyday moments with Bollywood lyrics in latest OOH campaign
Each billboard or screen follows a consistent format: a popular Bollywood lyric tied to a specific moment.

Spotify has launched a fresh out-of-home campaign across Indian cities, creatively linking Bollywood music with relatable public transport experiences. The campaign leverages high-traffic spaces like metro stations, bus stops, and arterial roads to display familiar song lyrics paired with everyday commuter scenarios—inviting passersby to reflect, relate, and listen.
Each billboard or screen follows a consistent format: a popular Bollywood lyric tied to a specific moment, followed by a line like “Felt while waiting for the metro” or “Said to green signal,” and closed with the signature “Played on Spotify.” From “Piya tu, ab toh aaja?” at a bus stop to “Humko mann ki shakti dena” inside a crowded metro station, the campaign aims to blend musical nostalgia with daily life.
The objective appears to be reinforcing Spotify’s role not just as a streaming service, but as a soundtrack to urban India’s routine. By placing emotionally resonant lyrics in familiar urban contexts, the brand is looking to forge deeper cultural connection and recall.
This campaign stands out for its hyper-contextualization—tailoring each message to the specific location and commuter mood. Whether it’s the relief of finding a metro seat or the frustration of a delayed bus, Spotify uses music as a bridge between emotion and environment.
The consistent visual language and recognizable typography across formats help establish campaign cohesion while allowing each execution to speak to its own setting. With Bollywood music as its foundation, the campaign draws on a shared cultural vocabulary to make a broader brand point: wherever you are, there’s a song for that—and it’s on Spotify.
