How to Loop and Repeat YouTube Songs Easily

Master the Loop: The Ultimate Guide to Setting Any YouTube Song on Repeat

We have all been there: a track drops, the chorus hits just right, and three minutes simply isn’t enough time. Whether you are trying to memorize the lyrics to a new favorite track, locked in and studying to lofi beats, or throwing an impromptu bedroom dance party, knowing how to keep your music rolling continuously is essential.

Fortunately, looping your favorite tracks on YouTube is easier than ever. Here is your complete guide to setting any YouTube song on repeat across all your devices, along with a few pro-tips to elevate your listening experience.

Method 1: The Native Desktop Shortcut (No Tools Required)

If you are listening on a laptop or desktop computer, YouTube has a built-in feature hiding in plain sight. You don’t need any extensions or third-party websites.

1. Open up your song of choice on YouTube.
2. Right-click directly anywhere inside the video player window. (Note: If a standard browser menu pops up first, right-click a second time inside the player).
3. Select Loop from the menu.

A small checkmark will appear next to the word, and your track will now automatically replay from the beginning the second it finishes. To turn it off, just repeat the process and click Loop again.

Method 2: Looping on Mobile (iOS & Android)

Listening on your phone or tablet? The mobile app makes it just as simple to keep the vibes going.

1. Tap your mobile screen while the video is playing to bring up the player controls.
2. Tap the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select Additional Settings (or look directly for the Loop Video toggle depending on your app version).
4. Toggle Loop video to On.

Alternatively, if the song is part of a playlist, you can tap the loop arrows icon until a tiny number “1” appears inside it, locking the player onto that specific track.

Method 3: Browser Extensions and Quick URL Tricks

If you find yourself constantly looping songs for deep focus or music practice, power users often turn to alternative methods:

• URL Tweaks: Some listeners like to type the word “repeat” directly into the URL (changing [youtube.com/](https://youtube.com/)... to [youtuberepeat.com/](https://youtuberepeat.com/)...) to instantly jump to a dedicated looping interface.
• Browser Extensions: Extensions like “YouTube Repeat Button” add a dedicated, one-click button right into your desktop player layout so you never have to mess with context menus again.

Why We Love the Loop

There is a psychological reason why putting a song on repeat feels so satisfying. Hearing a familiar track lowers cognitive load, making it the ultimate tool for deep work, relaxation, or emotional comfort. By mastering these quick looping tricks, you can keep your soundtrack playing uninterrupted for as long as you want.
