Playing in the background to this [YouTube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJN1iMOfgAc). A lot of people in the comments section were similarly interested in which song it was but I didn’t see anyone responding. Problem with foreign language songs is that you can’t (if you don’t speak the language) just put a line or two of lyrics into google and pull up the results. ---

You need an app called Shazam. It uses your phone’s microphone to ID songs that are playing. I find it to be 100% accurate but not 100% reliable (it’s never incorrect, but occasionally it says it can’t identify a song). Anyway, here’s [your song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6jYcGtHlf0). ---

Thanks! (for both the song and the info about the app)
