Hello @booleanmethod9 !

Good try!

I believe the answer to this question is that we need to target an .id which can be added at the end after the closing ]

As well, there should not be quotation marks.

Make sure the playSong is exactly as it should be, too.

Wishing you good progress on your coding journey. :slightly_smiling_face:

you are calling playsong with the literal string "id === userData?.song[0]"

first, the function is playSong

second, you are asked to pass in the id of one of the songs, not a comparison.

What about userData?.song[0]?
userData doesn’t have a song property, it has a songs property. Fixing that userData?.songs[0] is the first song, not the id of the first song, you would still need to get the id of that.
