Sarah Jenkins | Nov 25 2025 - 9:30 am PT Introduction It is not December yet, and the official "Spotify Wrapped" has not dropped, but the streaming giant is beginning to test a new, emotionally charged experience for 2025: the "Heartbreak Recap." This limited-run feature is made possible by the platform's new AI capabilities. This late November test release matches Spotify's recent strategy of releasing niche "mood reports" before the main event. It seems designed specifically for users who spent a significant portion of 2025 listening to sad playlists.
