The quarter finals of The Masked Singer season 13 are here, and the stakes—and emotions—have never been higher. Airing April 23, the episode marks the return of one of the show’s most heartfelt theme nights: Soundtrack of My Life. This time, five mystery celebrities will sing songs that mean something deeply personal to them.

The final five contestants of The Masked Singer, narrowed down from the season’s Lucky 6—Coral, Paparazzo, Boogie Woogie, Pearl, Mad Scientist Monster, and Nessy—are set to compete for a spot in the semi-finals. One of them will be unmasked by the end of the night.

Ahead of their individual performances, the top five will join forces for a group number of Boston’s More Than a Feeling. Then it’s solo time, with covers of tracks like Sk8er Boi, Million Reasons, Golden Hour, Your Love, and The Scientist.

According to The Futon Critic, the twist this time? Loved ones of each contestant will make appearances, adding an extra layer of emotion—and maybe even revealing a few clues.


What Soundtrack of My Life Night mean for The Masked Singer?

Soundtrack of My Life Night is a fan-favorite theme that’s been featured in previous seasons of The Masked Singer. It’s not just about strong vocals—it’s about storytelling. Each contestant picks a song that reflects a pivotal moment or emotional chapter in their life.

“It’s a night that always hits hard,”

said executive producer Craig Plestis in a past interview.

“The audience gets to see a different side of the performers, one that’s more vulnerable.”

This The Masked Singer episode tends to deliver some of the strongest emotional content of the season. When contestants open up, through both their song choices and the messages from loved ones, it becomes easier to connect the dots about their real identities. That means viewers might pick up on key vocal inflections, clues, or even familiar catchphrases dropped in family testimonials.

And for the fans who play detective every week, this could be the The Masked Singer episode where guesses finally start to stick.


A look back at the top 6 The Masked Singer performances and how we got here

To get to this point, the final five had to sing their way past the season’s top contenders. The Lucky 6—spanning three groups—was a stacked lineup. Coral and Paparazzo held it down for Group A, Boogie Woogie and Pearl made it through Group B, and Mad Scientist Monster and Nessy were the stars of Group C.

From the start, The Masked Singer season 13 has delivered both powerhouse vocals and surprising reveals. Some of this year’s unmasked stars included Cedric the Entertainer as Honey Pot and Erika Jayne as Yorkie.

Speaking about her experience, Jayne told Entertainment Weekly,

“I felt like my inner child was out on stage alive.”

With each unmasking, fans have been left either delighted or completely shocked. And now, with the quarter finals looming, every note matters more than ever.


Breaking down the quarter-finals song list

This week’s episode of The Masked Singer features a mix of pop-rock anthems, emotional ballads, and nostalgic radio staples. The group opens with More Than a Feeling, but the solo performances are where the night gets really interesting.

One contestant will tackle Avril Lavigne’s Sk8er Boi, a high-energy number that could reveal someone with youthful charisma—or a punk rock past. Lady Gaga’s Million Reasons will let another singer show off both their range and vulnerability. Another contestant takes on JVKE’s viral hit Golden Hour, a technically challenging song known for its falsetto and storytelling.

The quarter finals will also feature performances of Your Love by The Outfield and Coldplay’s The Scientist. Both tracks require emotional depth and vocal control, hinting that these contestants are no amateurs.

Whether it's nostalgia, heartbreak, or full-on vocal gymnastics, these songs could help narrow down which celebrity is behind the mask.


Personal connections and powerful clues on The Masked Singer

What sets Soundtrack of My Life Night apart is the peek behind the curtain—or mask, in this case. During the The Masked Singer episode, the contestants’ loved ones will share insights about their lives, careers, and the significance of the songs they've chosen.

This often provides huge context for fans trying to crack the code.

“I chose this song because it helped me through a time when I didn’t know if I’d make it,”

One contestant shares during their segment. While the identity remains unknown, the emotional tone offers a rare, real moment.

Another contestant says,

“It reminds me of my mom. She played this every day when I was a kid.”

These confessions—and the heartfelt family tributes—can offer subtle vocal clues, lifestyle details, or even regional accents that sharpen fan guesses.


Though the show is known for its campy costumes and wild guesses, the emotional moments tend to stay with viewers. Soundtrack of My Life Night taps into something more universal—music as memory, voice as vulnerability.

With loved ones speaking out and songs revealing deep feelings, this episode of The Masked Singer might go down as the most touching one yet.

By the end of the night, one celebrity will be unmasked, inching the show one step closer to its finale. But for fans, this quarter-final episode promises strong performances with meaningful moments that remind us why we keep tuning in.
