How SASG works: anonymous song dedications, explained
A walkthrough of SASG for people receiving songs and people sending them — links, hints, replies, featured songs and story cards.
5 min read
SASG is a link you share so people can send you a song without saying who they are. Instead of typing an anonymous message, they search for a track that reminds them of you, add an optional short note, and hit send. You get the album art and a 30-second preview in a private inbox. This guide covers both sides: what you see when you have a link, and what happens when you send a song to someone else.
1. Claim your link
Creating an inbox takes a username and a password — no email, no phone number. Your username becomes your link — it ends in /u/yourname. Pick something short that people will recognize when it shows up on your story; you can set a separate display name (the name shown on your page) and change it at any time.
Use the same handle you use on Instagram or TikTok. People are more likely to tap a link when the name matches the account they're already looking at.
2. Set your prompt
Your prompt is the question at the top of your page: “Send me a song that reminds you of me”, “What should I listen to on my commute?”, “Song for my villain era”. It tells visitors what kind of song you're hoping for, and it's the line that appears on the story card when you share your link. You can pick one of the suggestions in Customize page or write your own (up to 80 characters).
3. What a sender sees
When someone opens your link they see your name, photo, prompt and anything you've added to your page — a bio, a favorite song, link buttons, floating photos, or the little animated character that waves at visitors. Below that is a search box. They type a song or artist, preview the result, optionally add a note of up to 100 characters, and send it.
Senders don't need an account and don't need to install anything. After sending, they get a private link to that one dedication. If you reply, your reply shows up on that link — it's the only way a reply can reach someone who stayed anonymous, so senders are encouraged to save it.
4. Your inbox
Every song lands in your inbox with its artwork, preview, the sender's note and the time it was sent. New songs are marked so you can tell what arrived since your last visit. From each card you can:
- Play the 30-second preview right in the inbox.
- Reply — your reply is delivered to the sender's private link.
- Feature it on your public page, so visitors can see songs people have sent you (up to six at a time). The sender stays anonymous either way.
- Share it as an Instagram/TikTok story image, a short video with the song playing, a transparent sticker, or baked onto your own photo.
- Delete it permanently.
5. Hints, not identities
SASG never tells you who sent a song. What you can unlock is a hint: the type of device it was sent from (for example “iPhone” or “Samsung (Android)”), an approximate area based on the sender's internet connection (city-level at best and often only the nearest big city), and whether it came from a guest or someone signed in to their own SASG account. Hints are deliberately fuzzy — they're a fun guessing game, not a way to track anyone. A small number of hint reveals are available per day.
6. Profile views
The Views tab lists people who opened your link but haven't sent anything yet, with the same kind of fuzzy hint. Anyone who goes on to send a song moves to your inbox instead, so nobody is counted twice.
7. Staying in control
You can block a sender from your hint panel, delete any song or view, and delete your whole account and everything sent to it from the settings. See the safety guide for more on how anonymity works and what to do if something goes wrong.
