Songfacts is a music-oriented website that has articles about songs, detailing the meaning behind the lyrics, how and when they were recorded, and any other info that can be found.

[2][3][4] The journalists who work for the site have interviewed thousands of artists and songwriters to get the facts behind the songs, including Peter Murphy,[5] Gene Simmons,[6] Mick Jones,[7] Ian Anderson,[8] Brad Arnold (3 Doors Down),[9] Billy Steinberg,[10] Matt Thiessen,[11] Tomas Haake,[12] Jo Dee Messina, Marc Roberge, Bill Withers, Janis Ian, Emily Saliers.

[14] The site was started by WHCN DJ Carl Wiser[15] in Hartford, Connecticut, in August 1999.

Wiser originally created the list as a database to prepare for his radio programs but then he posted it online.

[16][13][17] The August 2004 issue of Men's Journal listed Songfacts as one of the "100 Best Websites for Guys".
