I think the instructions might be unintentionally misleading. They talk about hooking up the playSong function to the click event but the answer for this step doesn’t actually include anything to do with the playSong function, so forget about it for the moment.

“Add a click event listener to the playButton element, then use arrow syntax to pass in a callback with an empty pair of curly braces.”

Like I said, forget the playSong function even exists. Just do literally what the sentence above says to do. You are correct that the callback function does not have any parameters, but you need to think again about where the empty pair of curly braces go.
