If you have Spotify Premium, you can hide any song from any album, public playlist, or radio station. Just go to the album, playlist, or station that has the song you want to hide. You can also hide a song on the Now Playing screen. Note that you can’t hide a song from the Search screen or the list of “Popular” songs at the top of an artist’s page. If you’re using the free version of Spotify, you can only hide (dislike) songs while the song is playing from the Now Playing screen. So, start playing a playlist or album that has a song you don’t want to hear.
This icon may not appear on all playlists and albums for Premium users. If you have Spotify Premium and don’t see a hide or dislike icon, tap the three dots at the top-right corner of the song and select Hide instead.
If you’ve hidden or disliked a song using the Spotify mobile app, you’ll need to use the mobile app to unhide it—it’s not possible to unhide it on a computer unless the song appears on the Discover Weekly or Release Radar playlists.
