Benny Blanco Has Made so Much Music He Has to Shazam His Own Tunes

UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – Benny Blanco has created hundreds of songs over 16 years and sometimes uses Shazam to identify his own music when he forgets he made it, he said in a podcast interview.

  • Benny Blanco, a 37-year-old music producer, admitted on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast in July 2025 that he often forgets songs he made and uses Shazam to identify them as his own.
  • Blanco explained this happens because he has made hundreds of songs over 16 years, comparing his tracks to Shane's 16-season podcast to illustrate his memory lapses.
  • He recently collaborated with fiancee Selena Gomez to release a concept album about their romance called "I Said I Love You First" in March 2025, moving him into the music spotlight as a subject.
  • Blanco said, "I Shazam it, and then it's my own song," and praised the album with comments like, "Oh, my god, this song's so good," while noting he sometimes hears his songs in restaurants.
  • His admission highlights the prolific nature of his work and suggests that despite creating many hits, even top producers can lose track of their own output over time.
