Your Spotify pitch has 500 characters. Here is what fits.

The editorial pitch in Spotify for Artists is one small box, submitted once, before the song is out. Most artists write it in that box with no counter and find out it is too long by having it cut off. Count yours here, then cut what was never earning its space.

What an editor can actually use

Five hundred characters is roughly eighty words. Almost every pitch that runs out of room does it the same way, by spending the first third saying the song is emotional and unique before saying anything an editor could not have guessed.

Say the sound Tempo, instrumentation, what it sits next to. An editor is placing your song in a playlist beside other songs, so the useful information is what it sounds like, not how it made you feel while writing it.
Say the fact Where it was cut, who played on it, what it was written about, what has already happened with it. One specific true thing outperforms three adjectives, because it is the part nobody else could have written.
Drop the plea It would mean the world, please consider, do not miss out. These are the lines most likely to be in every other pitch that day, and they use the space your song needed.
Drop the ranking Best work yet, next big thing, poised to break through. A claim about your own importance is not evidence, and an editor has no way to check it, so it reads as noise.
Mind the clock A song can be pitched once, and only before it is released, so the release date is the real deadline. Submitting well ahead of it gives an editor time to actually listen.

Questions

How long can a Spotify playlist pitch be?

The editorial pitch field in Spotify for Artists holds 500 characters including spaces. Thermal writes to that ceiling and counts yours live, so you find out before you paste rather than after.

When should I submit a Spotify pitch?

Submit as far ahead of release day as you can manage, and at minimum a week. A song can only be pitched once, and only before it comes out, so the deadline is the release date itself.

What should a Spotify pitch actually say?

What the song is, how it sounds, and anything true that gives an editor a reason: where it was recorded, what it was written about, what has already happened with it. Adjectives about how emotional or unique it is take up space without telling an editor anything they can act on.

Does this tool need an account?

No. Counting is instant and local, and the rewrite runs without an account or a card. Nothing you paste is saved.

The pitch is one piece of the kit.

Thermal reads your actual track on your device, tempo, key, energy and texture, then writes the whole launch from what it measured: the bio, the press release, the pitches, a dated release plan, and a press page you can send. Reading the track is free and unlimited. Stripping hype from copy you already have is free too.
